Crowders Mountain-Kings Pinnacle Loop, Sept 23

We'll begin hiking promptly at 8:00 am. The weather right now is supposed to be clear in the morning, however rain is expected in the afternoon. If that changes we will reschedule. We will take Pinnacle trail up to Kings Pinnacle with the option of scrambling the north face or taking the newly completed switchback and stairs to Kings Pinnacle amphitheater depending on the abilities of the group. We'll scramble across the pinnacle and descend down the south end of Kings and pick up the Ridgeline Trail. From there we will continue south to Pinnacle Rd where we will turn around and return via Ridgeline and Turnback trails. We can then add another mile of hiking by circling Shorts Lake and returning to the office via Turnback. Total mileage will be about 6 miles and the difficulty will be easy to moderate depending on the route you decide to take. You will have options depending on your skill level.
