5 miles, 800' gain, Easy Intermediate. This route would be classified as fit-beginner, if not for an extended incline that runs for almost a mile in the middle of the hike. It is a fire road with a continuous climb. Fit beginners should be OK on this hike, although they may wish to take several […]

4.5 miles, 1000' gain, Easy Intermediate There are several extended inclines and a couple short but steep climbs. Fit beginners can do this hike, but they may be cursing some of the extended and steeper climbs. That's OK, because we'll be stopping at various points to regroup and this is not a conditioning hike. It […]
