Folks, I live in Scottsdale, AZ and I am planning a hiking/climbing trip up to the San Juan Range for dates between June 29th and July 5th. My preference is to arrive in Durango the afternoon before and meet up. Then we’d do a three day hiking trip. I’ll need someone with 4WD for Day 2 and Day 3 trailheads. I’ll want to do the hikes June 29, June 30, July 1, or June 30-July 2, July 1-July 3, or July 2-July 4, or July 3-July 5. July 1st is the day I prefer to arrive in Durango with July 2-4 the hiking days.

Day 1 Hike: Molas Pass at Colorado Trail Segment 25 Trailhead at Little Molas Lake. Hit West Turkshead Peak 12,849’, Spencer Peak 13,087’, Grand Turk 13,148’, and Sultan Mountain 13,368’. We’ll do 8 miles and 4,000’+ gain.
Day 2 Hike: Redcloud 14,034’ and Sunshine Peak 4,700’ of gain and 11.5 miles.
Day 3 Hike: Uncompahgre 14,309’, Noncompahgre 13,158’, and Nellie Point 13,106’ – 11.5 miles and 5,000’ of elevation gain – Bob Burd Route: https://listsofjohn.com/PeakStats/gpx.p ... r_id=13168

Happy to go with people in the Phoenix area, from which I am recruiting. Looking for 3-4 people to join. If interested, contact me at hgrapid@yahoo.com

Hey folks, planning a three day hiking trip to Spencer, Sultan, Grand Turk; then Sundog, Sunshine, Redcloud loop, then Handies or Uncompahgre. July 23-26. Last year I planned this earlier in July, but due to snow, I did other peaks instead.

If interested, e-mail me at hgrapid@yahoo.com

FYI, so far this year there is as much snowpack as there was last year.

I might well be looking for people who'd be interested to tackle the challenge in mid to late August, when I'll be traveling through the Rockies. The dates are already pretty much set to be between the 16th and the 27th of August as I'll be coming from the East Coast before that and am flying back from Los Angeles on the 5th of September. And before that, I have to go and audit half of this commercial real estate in Germany if I want the money for that trip!
