  • This event has passed.

IT’S a JAMBOREE: a large festive gathering!! We’ll do a potluck happy hour/dinner at Albion Basin Campground, s’mores around the campfire and a good old fashioned “sleep over”. This is car camping at its finest. Then, before sunrise (AKA: 7:12AM), anyone who wants to can join in a hike up to Sunset Peak to greet the day.

We’ll be eating, hiking and hanging out starting Sunday and the fun won’t stop until Monday! Join us for as much or as little of the time as you’d like. Parking on the site is limited BUT parking is free at Alta. There is a lot right outside the campground with a fee to drive up to it on the Summer Road; so we’ll be organizing transportation.
