Trip

Winter Scramble - Burnt Park Loop

A gorgeous ‘end of the season’ tour along alpine ridges and meadows connecting 4 distinct peaks: Burnt Park (Pt 6327), Palisades, Marcus, and Pt 6218 (the ridge NW of Marcus). This strenuous traverse (~5300’ gain, ~14 miles, 5 miles of it off trail) just might squeak by weather wise owing to this year’s El Niño.
