  • Easy C
  • Challenging
  • Mileage: 7.3 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 2,300 ft
  • High Point Elevation: 7,800 ft
  • Pace: 2.0-2.5 mph flats; 1 mph uphill

Short Apres afterwards.  We'll try to end the hike a little after 1 pm and hang out for a bit before heading out for whatever Thanksgiving plans you have.

Hike does require some class 3 scrambling. Traction devices recommended for sections this time of year. Gloves with good grip too.  Decent gaiters for some light bushwhacking between false summits.  This will feel more challenging than the 2300 ft of gain. 

Waterton Canyon parking lot at 7:45.  Trip usually takes 5 hours with a CMC group.
