Join our local volunteer Charles! He will guide you and a group of hikers up to the peak via our Hunter or Sunset trails. Learn more about the mountain, the surrounding land, and even some of the native plants. While taking consistent breaks, you will make your climb to the peak. This challenging hike involves steep switchbacks, rock scrambles, climbing up several cableways, and an elevation gain of 1,600ft. Total distance is 3.2 miles round-trip and takes 4-5 hours. No children under the age of 10, no dogs, bring 3-4 liters of water, wear hiking boots, and bring gloves for the cableways. Hikers will meet at the Hunter Trailhead located in Barrett Loop.
