Ellevated Hike - Huge Granite Slab Loop
Details
11.7 miles, 1421 ft gain, lollipop
We'll start by crossing Iron Springs Rd & going backwards on segment 1 of the PCT. About 3.25 miles in, we'll find a large granite slab that can be scrambled up. There are good views at the top. I've been here before, and wanted to make a loop out of it.
After leaving the slav, we'll do a loop and then pass back by the slab, on the "stick" part of our lollipop. I haven't done this loop portion from here before.
It is ups and downs the whole way, with no long or steep sections.
Ellevated hikes are fast-paced, with few breaks. I wait at intersections and won't leave anyone behind. You are reaponisble for your safety and need to make sure a hike at this distance and pace is safe and enjoyable for you.
