Backcountry Training Semi-Strenuous Hike Grizzly Gulch to Wolverine Bowl

*Jim McClave (703-973-4411)

Route Details: 

* We are doing two hikes this week as precipitation later in the week could shut down the routes. 

* For our third training hike of the season, we will review backcountry ski routes that are accessible from the Grizzly Gulch Trail that starts in the upper Alta parking area.  The routes range from easy low angle descents in the Patsey Marley area to more challenging descents in the Twin Lakes Bowl area.  This is one of the most popular touring areas in the Wasatch. 

*If we go all the way to Wolverine Bowl, this is a 5.5 mile out and back hike with 2,100 feet of elevation gain.

*We will meet in Holiday Village 4 Cinema, 1776 Park Avenue to carpool to Alta for an on time departure of 9am. 

*Bring the four hiking essentials. Poles are highly recommended.  Also recommend bringing spikes in your backpack in case it is slippery in places. All participants are required to sign the Club’s Activity Release Form which will be provided by the leaders. We will stop for snacks at the turnaround point.

*Email Kate to confirm attendance stephensonkate38@gmail.com

*If the weather does not look good on the morning of the hike, text the hike leaders to see if the hike has been cancelled.
