Learn about our Adventure Club

Adventure Club members can attend this event as one of your free monthly adventures

When: Saturday, Dec. 20 at 9AM

Please arrive at the trailhead 5-10 minutes before our start time, so we can begin promptly at 9AM.

*This event repeats at different trailheads on the third Saturday of each month*

Where: Lazy Mountain Trailhead

About the hike and what to expect: The Lazy Moose Trail is a gentler, forested alternative to the steep trail. Both trails join at the first picnic table, so the second half of the climb is the same regardless of which route you take. This winding route still gets you to the top, but with more switchbacks and a moderate incline.

During the winter months, this trail is generally foot-packed terrain. Depending on wind and snowfall, parts of the trail can become impassable. Our exact turnaround point will be determined the day of the hike.

After the event, we’ll enjoy hot drinks at the trailhead.

🥾 Mileage: Approximately 6 miles (about 3 miles up and 3 miles down). Snow may impact our ability to climb to the picnic table.

🥾 Elevation Gain: About 1,500 feet

🥾 Estimated Hiking Time: About 4-5 hours

🥾 Moderate to challenging for most hikers

A note on flexibility: The nature of adventuring outside requires some flexibility. We do our best to follow the itinerary as outlined, but we may need to shift plans for a variety of reasons. Safety is our priority and we use our best judgment when making trip adjustments.
