Hardscrabble Peak

Trip

Alpine Scramble - Hardscrabble Peak

Bikepack into camp, then explore the trail approach up to beautiful Hardscrabble Lakes and Peak.

  • Moderate
  • Easy
  • Mileage: 20.0 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 4,300 ft

Open for trip participant consideration, but we can opt for possible stopover at GoldMeyer HotSprings on way back.  Let me know if interested and I can inquire.  Otherwise - fairly straight forward bike over old gravel road with some less improved sections that might require walk-a-bike.  The camp is an established wilderness horse camp which "should" have toilet, and established campsite.  From there we'll navigate the old trail leading up Hardscrabble Lakes.  Once at the lakes - the scramble part should be fairly easy terrain to reach some amazing views.

Since there's a component of bikepacking, please consult with me if not familiar.  Road bikes or thin-wheels no - mountain or hardtail bikes yes.  Pack for the bike first, hike and scramble second.  Let's have some fun and explore new terrain!
