Day Hike - Miller Peak

A late posting but it looks like there will be a break in the weather on Wednesday following the rain that is forecasted through Tuesday. Join me for what should be an uncrowded mid-week hike to Miller Peak in the Teanaway where hopefully there will be terrific views of Mt Stuart and the Stuart Range. At minimum, it is forecasted to be dry with at least some sun breaks and we will likely have some good fall color, including the larches starting to turn gold. NOTE: FULLY VACCINATED PARTICIPANTS ONLY are allowed to register for this hike.

Leader's notes

This is an out and back hike from the Miller Peak trailhead to the summit of Miller Peak. We will hike at a casual but consistent pace of about 2 mph. Before registering, PLEASE make sure that you are conditioned and have recently been doing hikes in the 8 - 10 mile range with 3,000 ft elevation gain. The plan will be to have lunch at the summit enjoying the views before returning back down to the trailhead. Please arrive in time to be ready to hike at 8:30am. FULL VACCINATION REQUIRED to participate on this hike.
