The James Gang Traverse involves summiting all peaks along the Continental Divide (CD) between Mt. Flora and James Peak including Mt. Eva, Parry Peak, and Mt. Bancroft.
We will start along the CDT near Mill Creek just west of the hamlet of Alice and summit Mt. Flora from the East. We will keep mostly to the CD as we traverse north to James Peak summiting Eva, Parry, and Bancroft along the way. The descent will then take us down to Jamaica Flats and Loch Lomond where we will leave a shuttle beforehand.
All participants must have successfully completed at least one hike this summer greater than 14 miles and 5,000 feet and be able to sustain a consistent moving pace of at least 2.5mph in order to Register. Please don’t take this hike lightly. It is a long day of constant ups and downs!
