The goal would be to summit Mount Silverheels Hoosier Ridge and Red Mountain, hikers must be able to to keep a moderate pace (2mph on the less steeper slopes - obviously much slower for the final ascent.) This hike will include class 2 scramble and parts of this hike will be off trail with route finding involved - hence the mileage could be more than anticipated.
This hike is not for beginners.
