AT 5:45 AM – 9:30 AM

 Sunrise Hike PCT 74 Hwy



I know this ambitious to get anyone to do a sunrise hike on a Sunday, but what the heck...I will try. 


No permit required 


We will depart from Starbucks at 5:45 am and arrive as the sun is coming up over the mountains.  
Don't be late...We want to see the sunrise. 


It is a 30 minute drive from Starbucks to the PCT on Hwy 111


* Hot weather?
No worries. I am going to take us up 74 hwy to our favorite Pacific Crest Trail hike. It's cooler up there, and maybe that early...it could be cold. 


*The hike is not difficult. 5 miles around trip. I figure 2 hour hike. 
This is moderate hike with a trail that climbs and descends. 
500ft up and down. About the same level as bump and grind but a tad longer. 


This is a there and back trail. Meaning if you are going slow we will find you on our way back to the cars.



Bring water
Hiking Poles if you wish.
