This hike is well known to long time members, and is one of my favorite local hikes. The trail is quite steep for the most part, with lots of uneven footing, but is accessible to anyone of average fitness. Hiking boots and poles are highly recommended.

We will make our way up the trail which climbs the north ridge of Sunrise, taking our time to allow everyone to enjoy the views on the way up. At the top we’ll break for hydration and a snack, then down the south side from the summit using an alternate route, before rejoining the ridge trail.

Meet at 0930 at Market Fresh Foods parking lot next to Petro-can in Barnhartvale. A short convoy to the trailhead from there.
