  • Start time: 12:00 AM

  • End date: 04/30/2014

  • End time: 11:59 PM

Description:

Meeting at the TH at 5:45 and start hiking soon after. Hiking at a good pace in order to get a good workout.
From the cars to the Spencer's Butte main TH, up the "steep" way, a quick break at the top to recollect, then down the "easy" way back to the cars.
I plan to pack 20-30% of my body weight (typical climbing pack weight is encouraged) and keep a good pace to the top. The pace has been about 3 mi/hr average. Also, it will only be $2 for non members!
Let me know if you have any questions.

Trip Report

Great weather and still some Trilliums. People carried between 15 and 30 pounds and we completed the whole thing in about 2 hours including a break at the top.
