Tri-Peaks is a volcanic dome that shattered, leaving labyrinths, cracks and caves for we adventurers to explore.

I DID THE RECON A FEW DAYS AGO. WE WILL DO A FULL CIRCLE CLIMB AROUND, UP, OVER AND UNDER TRI-PEAKS FOR AROUND 2 HOURS. WE WILL CLIMB ROCKS THAT ARE SIMILAR TO THE ONE PICTURED ABOVE. BECAUSE IT IS SOLID VOLCANIC ROCK, IT HAS HAND AND FOOTHOLDS EVERYWHERE AND IS VERY EASY TO CLIMB--YES, YOU WILL NEED TO USE YOUR HANDS A LOT HERE.

BRING A FLASHLIGHT OR HEADLAMP FOR THE (OPTIONAL) CAVE EXPLORATION

THE PARK HAS A (totally arbitrary and silly) LIMIT OF 50 PEOPLE, AND 12 CARS MAXIMUM (National Park Service rules). So please carpool if possible. If you are the 51st person and/or in the 13th car, I am legally required to glare at you for a good long while.

AMAZING PHOTOS (if I should say so myself): https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10205351095363873.1073741847.1443226944&type=1&l=c1f690a7f4

THERE IS NO SHADE ON THE WAY UP. THERE IS SHADE ON THE WAY DOWN.

EXPECTED WEATHER: 77 degrees
