Griffith Peak via Harris Spring with Branch

Starbucks @ 95/N. Durango (map)

Selected By: A former member

This will be one of the easier hikes I lead. The route to Griffith Peak via Harris Springs is very scenic. There are fantastic views from along the ridge. This route is 90% trail. Easy class 1 and 2 cross country to the summit.
You should be in very good shape to do this hike.
We need high clearance vehicles
Everyone must chip in for gas or drive by themselves.
I will have the "I Survived a Branch Whitney" Hike T-Shirts with me. They are $14, all sizes.
