6.9 mi distance
2683 ft gain
Pace: 2 to 2.5 miles per hour
This is a moderate to difficult hike because of the elevation gain.
Bring: At least 2 liters of water, sack lunch, layers, poles if you use them, an extra pair of shoes and plastic bag in case it's muddy. A traction device such as microspikes will be helpful for any lingering snow patches on uppermost portion.
Dogs: Please leash up at snack and lunch breaks.
Meet at Tin Can Alley, near Whataburger side of the parking lot, to carpool to trailhead. AWD is helpful for the Tunnel Springs trailhead. Passenger cars can park lower and walk an extra .25 mile. But hopefully we can carpool.
Watch comments for any inclement weather cancellations or modifications. High winds means this event will be cancelled or postponed.
Meeting at trailhead? Please comment.
