  • Challenging
  • Mileage: 3.2 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 1,250 ft
  • High Point Elevation: 6,821 ft
  • Pace: 2.0

We’ll hike Mount Sanitas via this 3.2 mile loop: up the Mnt Sanitas Trail, a short break at the summit, down the East Ridge Trail and back via the Sanitas Valley Trail.

This is a steep hike, gaining 1250’ in just over a mile, it's rocky, and it lacks switchbacks.

This is a fitness hike. We’ll move at a brisk pace, with very minimal breaks. 

Plan for 2 hours, it will likely be less. 

Meet at 7:00am, for a 7:05 start.
