If all goes well\, our group (13 in total) will be summiting Kilimanjaro on Friday\, January 23\, 2026.

SUMMARY:Manitou Incline & Rocky Mountain Hike - Colorado Six-Pack of Peaks Hike #2
DESCRIPTION:Yes\, Rocky Mountain is an actual mountain. Located in Manitou Springs\, Colorado\, this 9\,250′ peak is often overshadowed by the trail that climbs it: the famous Manitou Incline. This route forms a loop that ascends the incline\, but then continues climbing to the little-traveled summit of Rocky Mountain before descending via the gentler grade of the Barr Trail. \nWe will meet-up at the Manitou Incline Basecamp (they sell coffee!) at 7am. We will regroup near the top of the incline\, and continue with an exploratory hike to Rocky Mountain. Here are the route details and here is my personal GaiaGPS track from my last hike on this route. \nParking here is a nightmare. Park at the public lot at 10 Old Mans Trail\, Manitou Springs\, CO 80829 and take the free shuttle (Route 33) that comes every 20 minutes. \nAfterwards\, join us for the optional post-hike lunch at Manitou Brewing Company.

SUMMARY:Hike Belknap Crater
DESCRIPTION:This is a 7.6 mile hike that climbs 1\,831 vertical feet to the summit of Belknap Crater — part of the Central Oregon Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge.

You have the option to join us after the hike at The Barn in Sisters for lunch. \nNOTE: This trail requires an online permit reservation.

SUMMARY:Tom\, Dick & Harry Group Hike - Central Oregon
DESCRIPTION:This is an 8 mile hike with some easy scrambling near the ridge. The trail starts at Government Camp and passes by beautiful Mirror Lake — the perfect spot for a reflected photo of Mount Hood. We climb a total of 1\,700′ — most of that through forest until we pop out at the first viewpoint. \nFrom there\, the trail becomes scant. We will decide as a group whether to continue on the final 1/2 mile to the true high point based on current trail conditions. Trail description on AllTrails. \nThis hike is part of the Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge. \nAs of May 10th\, there is still snowpack the last mile\, so bring trekking poles and microspikes if you have them. I’ll update in the comments as conditions change (and likely improve). \nI’ll be driving up Friday night and camping the night before and we will meet at the trailhead at 9am for introductions. We will hit the trail by 9:15. \nAfterwards\, join us for lunch at Mount Hood Brewing in Government Camp. \nThis is roughly a 2-hour drive from Bend\, so bear this in mind and consider carpooling (coordinate in the comments). The trailhead parking area is pretty big and it’s paved (no gravel roads to drive on this one). \nRSVP here to join us.

The total mileage comes in right around 10 miles\, making this a great way to train for bigger hikes. The trailhead is easier to access with a short (<.25 mile) gravel road to the parking. \nWe are meeting up at 7:30 AM\, will hit the trail by 7:45 AM. Last time I hiked this I was on the trail for almost 5.5 hours (with a nice long break at the summit). \nBring 2 liters of water\, snacks\, sun protection and layers appropriate for the weather. There is currently snow as you near the top\, so microspikes and trekking poles may be useful (we will know more as the date draws closer). \nAfterwards\, you are welcome to join us at The Barn for lunch (opens at noon) or explore the town of Sisters on your own. \nThis hike is part of the Central Oregon Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge\, and I will have information to share and can answer any questions about the challenge as we hike. You can also check out recent trip reports from other challengers to get a sense of current trail conditions on Black Butte.

SUMMARY:Black Butte Group Hike - Central Oregon Six-Pack
DESCRIPTION:We like big buttes and we cannot lie! And Black Butte is a beaut! This symmetrical cone-shaped butte is home to an active fire lookout tower\, as well as a historic cupola that you can easily imagine must have been the coolest summer digs ever\, with spectacular views of Mt Washington\, The Sisters and beyond. \nThis moderate hike starts at the upper trailhead (which doesn’t require a high clearance vehicle\, but is a six-mile gravel road with some washboard sections). We will climb 1\,443 vertical feet over roughly four miles (two up and two down). Check out our detailed trail guide for the specifics. \nMeet at the trailhead at 8:00 and begin hiking at 8:15. \nBring 1-2 liters of water\, snacks\, sun protection and layers appropriate for the weather. There is currently snow as you near the top\, so microspikes and trekking poles may be useful (we will know more as the date draws closer). \nAfterwards\, you are welcome to join us at Three Creeks Brewing for lunch (opens at noon) or explore the town of Sisters on your own. \nThis hike is part of the Central Oregon Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge\, and I will have information to share and can answer any questions about the challenge as we hike. You can also check out recent trip reports from other challengers to get a sense of current trail conditions on Black Butte. \nFriendly dogs are allowed; I will be bringing my two labradoodles Farley and Lucy. \nThis is not a fast-paced hike. Our goal is to enjoy the views (which if the weather cooperates\, are awesome).

SUMMARY:Sutton Mountain Group Hike - Central Oregon Six-Pack
DESCRIPTION:Sutton Mountain is a remote beauty near the tiny town of Mitchell\, Oregon and the Painted Hills unit of the John Day Fossil Bed National Monument. \nThis moderate hike is a steady climb to the high-point of Sutton Mountain. We will climb 1\,600 vertical feet over 3.5 miles to the 4\,692′ summit\, then retrace our steps to the trailhead for a total of 7 miles over 3-4 hours (get our detailed trail guide). \nOur plan is to meet arrive at the trailhead at 8:00am and begin hiking at 8:15am. The trailhead is not marked\, so follow the driving directions in the detailed guide linked above. It’s about a 90-minute drive from Bend. \nBring 1-2 liters of water\, snacks\, sun protection\, and layers. The trail offers little shade or protection from the wind. \nAfterwards\, we are headed to Mitchell and Tiger Town Brewing for lunch and a cold beverage (maybe the namesake Sutton Mountain IPA?). After lunch we head home\, or take an optional side trip to the Painted Hills. \nThis hike is the first in the Central Oregon Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge — we will have info and can answer any questions you have about the challenge at the hike. You can check out recent trip reports from other challengers to get a feel for the hike. \nFriendly dogs are allowed; I will be bringing my two labradoodles Farley and Lucy\, and the last two times I’ve hiked this I’ve been joined by the local ranch dog\, Patch 2.0 who hiked all the way up and back with us (sort of a “trail ambassador”). \nLeave a comment below so we know you’re coming. Note that there is no cell service at the trailhead\, so be sure to input the directions into your map app before you head out. The turn off to the parking area is not signed and easy to miss. There is a wire fence/gate that needs to be opened to drive into the parking area.

SUMMARY:El Cajon Mountain Hike
DESCRIPTION:Summit: 6513 ft\nDistance: 11 miles out and back\nElevation Gain: 3\,566 feet\nTime is approximately 5 to 6 hours\nDifficulty: “Very Difficult” Not a beginner hike!\nPace: Moderate. We will try to stay together as a group\, but if there is a wide range of paces\, we will split into sub-groups.\nSweep: Probably not\, so make sure you’re familiar with the trail if your pace is less than average. \nConsidered to be one of the hardest hikes in the San Diego area\, the hike through Wildcat Canyon to El Cajon Mountain features severe ascents and descents across various scenery. The trail gradually climbs towards the summit\, descending into valleys and climbing high peaks. While you hike\, take in the breathtaking surroundings. You will know you are almost at the top when you come across the deserted\, rusting jeep. From this point\, the trail gives dramatic views of El Capitan Reservoir. The trail narrows as you approach a saddle and winds through boulder fields and dense chaparral vegetation. When reaching the summit\, you are rewarded with 360-degree vistas of the surrounding peaks\, lakes\, and the far-off metropolis of San Diego. Rising above the community of El Cajon\, El Cajon Mountain is the highest point on a sizable granite block that provides sweeping views of the other peaks\, which include Mt. Gower\, Mt. Woodson\, and Iron Mountain. \nWhat to Bring:\nShoes with good traction\, hiking poles (optional)\, snack.\nBring plenty of water and be prepared for sudden weather changes. Bring layers!!!\nDogs are permitted as long as they are leashed.

SUMMARY:Hot Springs Mountain Hike
DESCRIPTION:This is an opportunity to hike Hot Springs Mountain — one of the six peaks in the San Diego Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge. \nSummit: 6513 ft.\nDistance: 9.8 miles out and back.\nElevation Gain: 2\,401 feet.\nTime: approximately 6 hours.\nDifficulty: “Difficult” Not a beginner hike!\nPace: Moderate or slower\, think tortoise! We plan to stay together as a group. One of us will function as the sweep. \nHot Springs Mountain\, the highest point in San Diego County at 6\,535 feet\, would be worth hiking just for that fact\, but there’s so much more to enjoy. After a tough initial climb\, the trail is peaceful and scenic as it winds through conifers\, giving the feel of a higher alpine area. And at the summit\, you get to visit the oldest standing fire tower serving Cleveland National Forest\, dating to 1942\, and then enjoy a ladder climb up to the actual summit. It’s a fun and beautiful hike that’s tough but not too tough. \n\nThis hike is on the Los Coyotes Reservation\, a remote and peaceful part of eastern San Diego County. \n**There is a $11 per person cash only charge to enter at the entrance or click here to pay in advance. \nWhat to Bring:\nShoes with good traction\, hiking poles (optional\, but recommended)\, snack. Bring plenty of water and be prepared for sudden weather changes. Bring layers!!! \nLet us know if you have any questions; BTW: we have no assurance that we will have cell service on this hike.\nEmil 202-812-8990\nMarsha 619-855-0669 \nDownload the hike map: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/hot-springs-mountain-trail

SUMMARY:Group Hike up Black Butte
DESCRIPTION:We are headed back to Black Butte\, this time taking the longer route from the Lower Trailhead. Unlike the hike from the Upper Trailhead\, this hike hike is a strenuous climb with over 3\,000 vertical feet. The total mileage comes in right around 10 miles\, making this a great way to train for bigger hikes. And the trailhead is easier to access with a short (<.25 mile) gravel road to the parking. \nWe are meeting up at 7:30 AM\, will hit the trail by 7:45 AM. Last time I hiked this I was on the trail for almost 5.5 hours (with a nice long break at the summit). \nBring 2 liters of water\, snacks\, sun protection and layers appropriate for the weather. There is currently snow as you near the top\, so microspikes and trekking poles may be useful (we will know more as the date draws closer). \nAfterwards\, you are welcome to join us at Three Creeks Brewing for lunch (opens at noon) or explore the town of Sisters on your own. \nThis hike is part of the Central Oregon Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge\, and I will have information to share and can answer any questions about the challenge as we hike. You can also check out recent trip reports from other challengers to get a sense of current trail conditions on Black Butte. \nThis hike was reschedule from the original date (March 4). \nRSVP at the website link below (via Bend Hiking Meetup).

We will climb 1\,600 vertical feet over 3.5 miles to the 4\,692′ summit\, then retrace our steps to the trailhead for a total of 7 miles over 3-4 hours (get our detailed trail guide). \nOur plan is to meet arrive at the trailhead at 8:00am and begin hiking at 8:15am. The trailhead is not marked\, so follow the driving directions in the detailed guide linked above. It’s about a 90-minute drive from Bend. \nBring 1-2 liters of water\, snacks\, sun protection\, and layers. The trail offers little shade or protection from the wind. \nAfterwards\, we are headed to Mitchell and Tiger Town Brewing for lunch and a cold beverage (maybe the namesake Sutton Mountain IPA?).\nAfter lunch we head home\, or take an optional side trip to the Painted Hills. \nThis hike is the first in the 2023 Central Oregon Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge — we will have info and can answer any questions you have about the challenge at the hike. You can check out recent trip reports from other challengers to get a feel for the hike. \nFriendly dogs are allowed; I will be bringing my two labradoodles Farley and Lucy\, and the last two times I’ve hiked this I’ve been joined by the local ranch dog\, Patch 2.0 who hiked all the way up and back with us (sort of a “trail ambassador”). \nRSVP at the event link below (with Bend Hiking Meetup) so we know you’re coming. Note that there is no cell service at the trailhead\, so be sure to input the directions into your map app before you head out. The turn off to the parking area is not signed and easy to miss. There is a wire fence/gate that needs to be opened to drive into the parking area.

SUMMARY:6th Annual Haunted Hike to Black Star Canyon
DESCRIPTION:Halloween costume optional!\n\nBe prepared for a thrilling hike through the backcountry of the Cleveland National Forest and the northern Santa Ana Mountains. Considered to be one of most haunted places in OC\, Black Star Canyon is well-known for many historical stories from both ranching days and the Gabrieleno or Tongva people who were its first residents. Visitors to Black Star Canyon are awed by soaring red rock cliffs\, sweeping vistas of Irvine Lake and the Pacific Coast\, as well as diverse sage scrub and chaparral habitats with many rare species of plants and animals.\n\nUntil the late 1800s the area was even home to many California grizzly bears. Black Star Canyon was previously known as Canon de los Indios (Canyon of the Indians) in Mexican times. It is listed as California Historical Landmark No. 217 Black Star Canyon Indian Village Site.Many tales are passed down about local residents including an infamous armed conflict in 1831 between trappers led by William Wolfskill and Native Americans that left many dead. As a result of this conflict\, some people consider the area to be haunted even to this day. The Black Star Coal Mining Company opened a mine near the mouth of the canyon in 1877\, which gave the canyon its present name. The mine operated off and on until the early 1900s.\n\nMany spooky stories have been told about Black Star Canyon. Claims that cars won’t start at trail head for no apparent reason\, strange behavior of wildlife\, sites of groups of…something dressed in black hooded robes are among the stories. According to news articles\, an old timer living in the canyon shot at passing people for whatever reason and was prosecuted. News stories of people assaulted (not related to the shooting). This place is spooky.\n\nOur hike will take us to Beeks Place\, the haunted Native American Village and the Doppler Radar Tower for a total of 16 MILES r/t and about 2\,750′ elevation gain. It will be about 6-7 hour hike\, if we maintain a 2 miles/hr pace.\n\nRain cancels this event.
