Songbird Peak, Machu Picchu & Greenway Mountain

Trip

Winter Scramble - Songbird Peak

Spend Easter Sunday at Easter Island and up to Songbird Peak. We'll hit Olallie Knob and Hall Peak too. If group wants and conditions allow, we may consider Macchu Picchu on the way down. Exploratory for leader

  • Strenuous 3, Technical 3, Winter Scramble
  • Moderate
  • Mileage: 8.0 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 3,300 ft
  • Pace: A touch slower than moderate, faster than a saunter

8am Olallie State Park south fork picnic area


This is an exploratory trip up for leader up to Songbird Peak calling at stops for Olallie Knob, Hall Peak, and Easter Island.  Down the way we came unless we want to go to Macchu Picchu and come down Hall Creek.  That is group and condition dependent. 

Regardless this should be a fun trip on a sunny day.  We'll evaluate risks such as rock conditions and snow conditions, any blow down to make good decision making during the whole trip.
