Popolopen- Torne Loop Trail 5 miles with 1352 feet elevation gain

Rescheduled to November 5 from sunday September 10 due to rainy conditions
Watch for updates because the parking situation may change and/or the trails will reopen allowing us to do the full regular hike.Due to damage from the storm in July we had to change the meeting place and the route. Much of this hike will be getting to the trail head from the parking lot which involves a long uphill climb on mine dock rd and mine road. This will ge a tough climb leading to the actual trail up the mountain.
If you don’t LOVE wslking uphill you might want to skip this. The upside is coming back will be all downhill!
Bring plenty of water. We will take it slow and rest as much as people need.
Rain will cancel as thus is a rocky climb that will get quite slippery

This is a super cool hike with fun scrambles on rocks. There are ropes to assist ascent or descent. We will be ascending the steep side so be sure you are comfortable with rocks and ropes.

Beautiful views at the top

I’ve allowed 4 hours so we have time to take it slow as some may consider this hike strenuous

Be sure to bring and drink plenty of water. Bring bug spray and sunscreen at your discretion

Afterward, we will enjoy a well deserved meal and drinks
