Hiking – Coon Hill

A fun off trail day: We'll bypass Coon Hill, go up to the head of the valley. From there we'll decide: either follow a butter knife edged ridge over to the South Fork Trail, or do a circle route atop the divide. Expect views of the Front, Ten Mile, Gore and Williams Fork ranges.

This hike is on/off trail. It is exploratory and depending on conditions and the group, we'll either do an out and back into the Williams Fork basin or a circle route atop the divide.   The out and back's further half runs north along the top of a narrow ridge below Hagar.  It is entirely walkable, with no scrambling.  That said, be aware that it is airy.    

Meet at wooly mammoth west end for an 8 AM departure.
