South Peak via Hawk Watch!

Hike Description: We will start up Three Gun Spring trail and quickly turn off onto Hawk Watch trail. We will continue up Hawk Watch trail along steep, uncertain trail with loose, sandy gravel. There is a connector trail from Hawk Watch to South Crest Trail which continues up the steep/slick/sketchy trail. Once on the Crest Trail, we will summit South Peak and have a snack/lunch. After South Peak, we will return via Embudito and Three Gun Springs Trail. Be prepared for a physically challenging hike. Know and plan for your food and water needs. Hiking poles are strongly recommend.
If you have not been hiking regularly and are unsure of your current fitness level, please start with one of my after work cardio hikes.
