SUMMARY:Wednesday Evening Hike: Gibraltar Rock for WINTER SOLSTICE!!!
DESCRIPTION:This week: Rattlesnake to Gibraltar Rock. WINTER SOLSTICE EDITION!! \nWe’ll hike up Rattlesnake to the Meadow where we’ll turn RIGHT up to Gibraltar Road. The hike to the road is 13% on average\, but does have some brief 20%+ sections. Once we hit the road we’ll turn LEFT and hike the road for about a third of a mile to the Gibraltar Rock outcropping which will be on our left. We will have a vehicle parked across from the Rock for fancy refreshments this time. Potluck-style feast w/ coordination on Whatsapp. BYO mess kit/cup. There may be option for some roadside shuttle glamping for food/beverage. The front side city views from Gibraltar Rock are unrivaled and this hike should be more beginner friendly. We’ll return on the same route.\nDistance – 5.07mi\nAscent – 1728ft\nWater crossings – EASY\nRock scrambling – NO\nBush whacking – NO\nMaximum Grade – >20%\nEffort – Medium-Hard\nStrava Effort – 1.5x \nTrailhead: Rattlesnake Trailhead on Las Canoas Rd\nhttps://maps.app.goo.gl/m42Rjp3rQvnrqpJD9 \nStrava link\nhttps://www.strava.com/routes/3252849462852065440 \nHike Leader this week will be Kevin Hanrahan. If you plan to attend please accept on Meetup. For questions\, Kevin can be reached via text at 805-895-5655. \nAbout Wednesday Evening Hike series\nWe will meet at 6:30p at the trailhead unless otherwise noted for that week. We sometimes carpool to trails up to 45 minutes away. We attempt to vary the trails selecting amongst those that are open and in hike-worthy condition. We hike the front country\, the backside of the front range and occasionally adventure even further. Hikes are typically in the 6-9 mile range with 1500-3000 ft of total ascent. Occasionally we’ll mix in a harder hike where returns can be very late. These hikes are meant for those with some hiking experience and moderate athletic condition. The pace varies and larger groups usually split\, but we will re-group at intersections and stick together where the path is ‘iffy’. Please dress appropriately with hiking boots/shoes and comfortable clothes meant to get sweaty and possibly wet. Headlamp and/or flashlight required. Bring a water resistant jacket for rain/gloom or just cold air which is frequent at altitude. We recommend 1-3L water bladder in a backpack depending upon trail difficulty so that your hands are free to cross water or scramble up/down rocks. Bug spray is a good idea as bugs are very active at dusk (better to have and not need.) Some folks bring hiking poles. I recommend long sleeves and pants to prevent scratches\, poison oak and ticks. \nWe typically stop at the top\, add a layer for warmth and enjoy a snack. This can be some of the best fun as folks drag up hot tea\, other libations\, and all sorts of baked goods to share. Yum! \nGroup organizers assume no liability; hike at your own risk. By being a member of this group\, you hereby agree to assume all risks and liability related to or resulting from any group functions. You agree that you nor any third party will hold any of the group’s leaders liable for any injury\, loss\, or damage to your own self or property arising directly or as a consequence of a group activity.
