We'll be doing a series of hikes this summer. Most of them will be moderate level hikes with some elevation gain. The hiking pace is moderate and allows for easy conversation with your hiking companions. Excited to play in the mountains with you!
This easy to moderate hike will be an out and back hike taken at a moderate pace. We’ll turn around after the first bridge. The elevation gain will be around 500 feet.
For those that are interested, we'll head to the new City Vineyard for a glass of wine or beer after the hike.
*Note - South Cottonwood has a small parking area. If there’s a bunch of people joining, there will be a carpool option from the west side of Macy’s in the Gallatin Valley Mall.
What to bring:
I recommend wearing a backpack/camelback ideally with a waist strap to take the pressure off your shoulders. Some people just carry a water bottle for this hike but here are other items you may want to consider bringing: Plenty of water, snacks, layers/rain jacket, baseball cap, sun glasses, bug spray, bear spray and comfortable, broken in hiking/walking shoes.
Note - If you're new to the area and haven't done much hiking yet, please know that our air is thinner here which makes hiking a little more difficult. Make sure you acclimate to the area before joining us for any moderate level hikes. Message with any questions/concerns on whether this might be the right event for you.
Directions:
Head south on S. 19th past Hyalite Canyon to the intersection with Cottonwood Rd. Turn left and wind through a big S turn before taking another left on Cottonwood Canyon Rd. From there, it's approximately 2 miles to the trailhead at the end of the road.
