This is a training, trail beta hike for those doing the entire 4 Pass Loop on 7/6.  You are welcome to attend that as well or just do one or both of these section hikes.

If there is last minute availability for a campsite, then I may turn this into a 1 night backpack.

Snowmass out and back is 17 miles and 5,200'. Start hiking 5a

Frigid Air Pass out and back is 18 miles and 4,800'. Start hiking 7a, so a later day, but allow time for recovery.

I have lodging in Basalt that can be shared - pad on floor or shared bed.  Or you can make your own arrangements.

Carpools TBD
