274039 No. UT: Golden Hour on the M
- This event has passed.
About This Event
Okay ladies, this one’s short but steep — a quick quad-burner that pays off fast.
We’re timing it for golden hour, so we’ll climb as the afternoon light turns warm and gold, then settle in at the summit next to the big concrete “M” for spiked cider and treats while the sun drops over the valley.
Fall colors, 360° views of Francis Peak and Morgan City, and the best light of the day.
Bundle up, bring your camera, and let’s watch the sunset together. Heads up — the trail cuts through a cattle pasture, so watch your step!
