GWNF: Three Ridges - A Very Strenuous 14.4 Mile Hike





Elevation Gain: 5,053 Feet 

The hiker leader summed up the hike as follows: "There was up to 6 inches of snow of much of this hike, making the trip demanding and slower going than usual. The ridge line was spectacular: we were treated to great panoramic views for two miles. Things got real cold coming down the north (shaded) face of Three Ridges. The hike on the MauHar Trail along Campbell Creek involved tricky footing: it was a real treat with the ice making some of the prettiest and most interesting scenery I have ever seen. We came back after 7.5 hours really tired!" 

The trails offered great views, but walked in snow was very tiring.
