Description

Revised to a Plan B because of “iffy” weather.   A local hike of about 2 hours.   Meet at Aberdeen Mall at 9:00

An all-day hike to the summit of Alpaca

  • meet early to carpool
  • hike from Zopkios Rest Area up to the summit of Zupjok Peak
  • continue along the ridge over Llama Peak and up to Alpaca and back
  • this will require steady hiking to get out and back in a day (6.5 to 7 hours) to cover about 18km
  • a scenic, but demanding route so fitness requirements are high
  • some forest to work through on the south face of Zupjok
  •  a long day so adequate preparation is essential
  • bring lots of water
  • article on the area – Zupjok Peak
  • info on Doug’s hikes
  • a good peak to bag Δ

 

I will add Alpaca Peak to the events for 2017.
