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).

SUMMARY:Group Hike up Sutton Mountain
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. Depending on the weather between now and then\, there may be snow. The trail is mild\, but microspikes might be helpful depending on the amount of snow and ice. \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?).\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:Hiking in the Snow or Winter Mountaineering
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, tragedy strikes in the mountains when snow covers the trails.  The accidents are unfortunate\, but not surprising. What in the dry\, warm months of summer might be a straightforward hike\, after snow falls can become full-on winter mountaineering. \nJoin us for this webinar with Kurt Wedberg\, founder of Sierra Mountaineering International in Bishop\, California. We’ll be talking about when a “hike in the snow” becomes winter mountaineering\, and what that means for gear\, knowledge and experience requirements. Learn basic techniques and hazard assessment that will help keep you safe (and know when to turn around). \nAs a bonus\, those who are looking at leveling up their skills will have an opportunity to save 10% on a Snow Travel School at SMI in Bishop. \nThe webinar is FREE\, but registration is required. \nHope to see you there!
