Mailbox Peak

Trip

Winter Scramble - Mailbox Peak

Not your usual Mailbox Peak.

  • Very Strenuous, Snow Scramble, Winter Scramble
  • Challenging
  • Mileage: 6.0 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 4,000 ft

We will explore a route starting at the Granite Lakes TH, ascending the  NE ridge of Mailbox, descending the old trial, unless the group prefers a more gradual descent on the new trail.

Note that this will require a short car shuttle.

As always for winter trips,  a change of destination is possible based on conditions.

If the forecast changes to suggest very bad weather Friday, the trip may shift to Saturday.

Exit 34 Popeye's parking lot on the side by the gas pumps

7:30 a.m.
