The top mile of Six Shooter and Icehouse are the highlights.
planned route of travel
Backpackers
Bring your gear or we'll happily stuff rocks in your pack.
Coffee House Connoisseurs
Let's burn fresh arabica beans & toss in Kraft caramels. We intend to keep it real cutting in copious amounts of heavy whipping cream! Everyone can throw a twenty spot in the trash and we'll all act like it's cool!
Spooky Goblins
Wear a HAZOWEEN costume, hide in the bushes & chase down lycanthropes.
Social butterflys
Forget the hike & hang out at one of the three official Autumn HAZFEST trailheads. Drink mincemeat pie beer with locally harvested coatimundi ear wax for that extra pungent kick you seek. Don't forget your smartphone, we'll play Nonot's new app Build a Bonfire.
Comfy Bed Haters
Come out the night before, playhouse, freeze your pumpkin off & hike in the morning feeling like a zombie!

It is very beautiful up there in the fall.

It's already ten degrees cooler in the Valley. Definitely notice it in the mornings. Saw Box Elders turning in the Bradshaws yesterday. Reports of the same on EldOn and the IB.
