Description:

NOTE TIME CHANGE---This hike is often referred to as a conditioning hike. But that's for YOUR conditioning. Some people go to the top in under and hour and others might be 20 minutes later. Or decide they aren't ready for the last section of steps to the summit. No matter what your speed you won't be alone. So, join this hike and start getting ready for good times on the trails this summer.
We start promptly at 8:15am, so please come 10 to 15 minutes early to get signed-in and get the lowdown on the hike. To get to the trailhead: Take West Amazon to Martin Street. Turn left. Drive past Kinney Park and park on Martin at the Kiosk sign board across from Canyon Drive Street sign with hiker symbol. Please call the leader if any questions. You can also take LTD Bus #28 to Martin Street

Trip Report

We hiked through light, refreshing showers and a little mud to the top of Spencer's. The summit was windy and drippy with visibility about 1/4 mile.
