The Tuesday bunch is still climbing strong! Juniper Peak was accomplished this week by a large group of hikers. Mike OC sent out these photos of the attendees and the remaining photos are from Kay's archives. The hike is explained well in an email that Jerry sent out previous to the hike as follows:
We will be parking at the newly upgraded Pine Creek parking lot in Red
Rock Canyon NCA. From there we will hike down the Pine Creek trail
until we hit the start of the Arnight trail just past the old
foundations of the Wilson homestead. We will hike south along the
Arnight trail until we hit a branch that turns up Juniper Canyon. From
there we will start scrambling up very large boulders in Juniper Canyon.
The route up will contain sections of scrambling up large boulders,
steep trail on loose dirt, and a small section of talus. At this point
we are near the foot of Brownstone Wall a favorite spot for rock
climbers. If we are lucky we may spot some on Tuesday. After the talus
we scramble up steep sandstone slabs and dirt trail to the only
difficult spot on the hike which could be described as class 3 the rest
of the hike is class 2. From this spot there is more slabs and rock to
scramble over until we hit the summit. We will return the same way we
came.
5 miles; 2300 feet elevation gain
