No. Utah: Grande Dames scale Grandeur Peak – Age 50+

About This Event

Steep parts, sloping parts, and rocky parts will get those buns burning on this iconic trail. We will celebrate the unparalleled views at the top with Grande Dame Mimosas (just slightly less expensive champagne than the real Grande Dame). Ambassador Kari Michal will bring the orange juice, and of course Grande Dame cupcakes.
