Day Hike - Granite Mountain Trail

Join me for beautiful fall colors and cooler weather on one of the prettiest alpine hikes in shoulder season.

  • Strenuous
  • Moderate
  • Mileage: 8.0 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 3,800 ft
  • Pace: 2 mph up 2+ down

Based on previous years, this is one of the prettiest times (no bugs, no crowds, nice temperatures, beautiful fall colors) if we time it right. Posted 2/25 so we'll take what we get! Birds, photo opportunities, and a conversational pace. Bring plenty of water as we'll be out for a while.

7 a.m. start at Exit 47 parking lot. Details TBD.
