Calico Tank Peak & Turtlehead Jr. from Calico Basin

http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/9/1/e/event_75415582.jpegThis is one of the shortest way up to the Calico Tank Peak from the Calico Basin. That means a lot of class 3 scrambles. There are about 1,200 ft elevation gain up to this peak.

From there we traverse over the Calico Hills and make it to the Turtlehead Jr. (Red Cap)

Its also lots of class 2-3 scramble, but not much elevation gain.

The last section to the Turtlehead Jr. has class 3 with exposure.

We will take a different way down back to the Calico Basin. This one also has a lot of class 2-3 scramble.

So, if you love scramble and can handle class 3 with exposure, this hike is for you. If you are not confortable with exposure, sorry, but this hike is not for you.

We will hike modelate pace. That is 'the fastest pace of the slowest hiker'.

The safety is the first priority of my hike.

You must stay with the group and finish with the group. This is the loop hike and we won't be able to pick you up on the way down.

Please bring lots of water, snack, gloves, sunglass, hat. No trekking pole needed.

Since I limit the group size for only 10 and there are lots of scramble, I don't take any 'Guest'.

'No show' hikers and 'last minutes cancelation' hikers won't be invited to my future hikes.
