Trail Trashed Ultra - Advanced Beginner / Intermediate Hike
Details
Join the Sundays at 10 Hiking Series for a change of scenery as we head over to Sloan Canyon and take on part of the Trail Trashed Ultra Trail.
The Trail Trashed Ultra is organized by the Triple Dare Running Company and is held every March in honor of Darrell Henry. Darrell Henry was an avid trail runner who ran every day, even while undergoing treatment for cancer. His ashes were carried on this trail in 2017 by one of his good friends. The annual Ultra started in 2020.
This hike is a just under 4.5 miles with an elevation change of 538'. We will start off with a steady, gradual incline, gaining 200' elevation in the first mile. Our elevation will get a little steeper, gaining another 200' in 0.7 miles. From there we will hike a series of gradual elevation changes, reaching our highest point about 3.4 miles in. As we start to circle back, there is an opportunity for our adventurous hikers to climb a short but steep hill to some large rocks for an awesome view (you can't see this view from the trail).
Terrain & Scenery: This is a typical trail with dirt and loose rocks. This is an open desert and there is no shade. The scenery is very different from Red Rock or the Spring Mountains and beautiful in its own way.
Trail Type: Lollipop Loop
Parking: There is a paved parking lot at the trailhead with a flush toilet.
Directions: If you put "McCullough Hills Trailhead" in your navi, you should find us. The address is 295 W Mission Dr, Henderson.
This is a group hike led at a social pace to encourage conversation, connection, and meeting new people while enjoying the outdoors. We'll take breaks as needed, stay together as a group, and focus on having a fun, welcoming experience rather than hiking for speed. Whether it's your first time joining the Sundays at 10 Hiking Series or you're a regular, everyone is welcome!
*Guests must be 21. No fur babies please.
