Hike Description:
This is a balloon hike and it will be approximately 11 miles or so in length. We will depart from the Faulty Trailhead (7,000ft) and hike to the CCC trail (9,345ft). The CCC trail is VERY steep and we will take it to the Crest Trail. From the Crest Trail we branch off of it to access and summit South Peak (9,782ft). Once we summit South Peak, we will then get back on the Crest trail and take it south until we intersect the Faulty trail again. Total Elevation: 2,782ft.
This hike is strenuous because of the distance and the elevation gain.
Dog Policy: Not allowed this time.
Weather Notice: If inclement weather looks imminent, please check this site 45 minutes prior to the departure time.
Unplugged Hike: This means that you are more than welcome to bring your cell phones, but that they just need to be on silent during the hike.
