20 mile loop around the base of Granite Mountain with roughly 2,000’ of elevation change. Nothing crazy steep as far as climbing, but some of these trails are a little overgrown since they don’t get used very much. This will be a “get it done” pace- I’m expecting it to take a little under 5 hours. Meet at the Williamson Valley trailhead at 7am. Come join us!
