CHS 2 Hike - Granite Creek Trail

CHS hike led at a CHS 2 pace (2.0-3.0 mph). We're pivoting! The Mountain Loop Highway won't reopen in time for our hike so join us for a hike along Granite Creek which courses through the gorge between Mailbox Peak and Russian Butte. Our turnaround point will be Granite Lake. Expect snow for the last bit, so please bring spikes and poles!
