About This Event
We had so much fun last year, we’re doing it again!
Join us for a Hike-a-bration to celebrate the 4th of July week as we take on a scenic route that gently climbs Deer Crest and winds down through charming mountain homes. This shaded trail leads us up to Silver Lake, then down along the Last Chance and Silver Dollar ski runs.
We’ll wrap up our adventure with a toast!
