Monkey Business, definition (Rex's dictionary): hiking plus assorted tomfoolery involving cool boulders and caves, providing a workout for both legs and arms, while our hike leader plays guitar and "sings" and ruins your favorite songs
Tri-Peaks is a volcanic mountain that shattered, leaving labyrinths, cracks and caves for we adventurers to explore.
The last time we did this hike, the group spent 3 hours doing A FULL CIRCLE CLIMB AROUND, UP, OVER, UNDER and THROUGH TRI-PEAKS. WE WILL CLIMB ROCKS THAT ARE SIMILAR TO THE ONES 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
DIFFICULTY LEVEL: moderate
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.
