Conquer Grey Wolf Mountain

Conquer Grey Wolf Mountain

Details

We will meet in LL section of Woolly Mammoth Park & Ride (https://goo.gl/maps/kXwn36BP21y) at 8am, then car pool up to the South Chicago Creek Trailhead (http://www.gohikeco.com/2012/04/south-chicago-creek-trail.html) on Hefferman Gultch road (off of CO-103 Mt. Evans Rd)

The road is a little rough, so we may have to walk it if we don't have enough high-clearance vehicles. The trail also has spots where water will pool, so please bring water-proof boots!

When we get to the top we will gaze triumphantly upon the wondrous sight of the Chicago Lakes, then turn around and head back down for beer & food at Tommy knocker brewery.

Difficulty: Moderate

Length: 5 miles

Elevation Gain: 2000ft

I'd like to stress that this is not one of our easy hikes. The hike is 5 miles long, rated "moderate", and has somewhere around 2,000 feet of elevation gain. Please ensure you are physically capable, or car pool with those of equivalent stamina if you think you may need to turn around.
