This location is shown only to members
This hike is rated INTERMEDIATE.
We'll start at the Visitor Center and take the #100 trail into the preserve. When we hit the #306 trail, we'll take it CLOCKWISE . We'll go up to the summit and then back down the other side. The beginning is flat which allows for a warmup. Then we will hike a short steep climb to a saddle which will then take us to Shaw Butte. The majority of the climbing is packed into the middle and it's very steep with some loose rocks. We will then visit the old ruines of Cloud 9 (a restaurant that burned down in the 60's). From there we will hike to the summit, take a break, and then head down the road on the other side of Shaw Butte. You're encouraged to bring snacks, a camera and at least 2 liters of water per person and sturdy hiking footwear.
