hike & car camp/ hotel - mt blue sky (1,4267 ft) via west ridge, colorado - July 21, 2026
We plan to hike to Mt Blue Sky (1,4267 ft) via West Ridge from Gunella Pass - class 2, 9.25 miles RT with 3,100 ft gain.Due to a risk of rock falls, helmets are required. I have two extra helmets in case you want to borrow. The planned schedule is: July 21 Tue Road trip; July 22 Wed hike; July 23 Thu rest day for those who will continue the adventure, road trip for those who will go home. Due to a high possibility of afternoon thunderstorms in CO, we will start a hike very early. The hikes will be exploratory. We will stay at a developed campsite. If you prefer to stay at a hotel, Georgetown is the closest town. Those who will stay at a campsite, there will be small cost sharing. Individual shares will depend on how many people will camp. The main group will stay there from July 21 Tue to July 25 Sat (including road trip, hiking to Blue Sky, Grays & Torreys. Partial participation is fine. To register, please email the organizer. If you have never hiked with the organizer, please include your hiking and camping experience. Limit 8. WMC members only. For more details, please contact the organizer.
