Let's welcome winter by hiking this popular winter hike. Starting at 7am, we'll follow the east ridge trail, first through woods then along a ridge to the summit of Quandary. The hike is about 7 miles RT with 3600' of gain. It is quite steep and definitely a great workout.

As with any winter hike, this one is subject to weather conditions. High winds, blizzard or difficult driving conditions cancel.
