This is a 11-mile RT backpack that starts from Obstruction Point off Hurricane Ridge. We will make our way down into Grand Valley, passing Grand Lake and we will camp at Moose Lake. After setting up our tents, we can hike on to Gladys Lake, or climb up to Moose Mountain.
Although this backpacking trip isn't overly difficult, it is still Leader Permission Required. If you're interested in this trip, please send me stats of 1-2 previous hikes over the past 6 months. Once reviewed, I will let you know that you can sign up.
