hike & car camp: mt mellenthin & mt laurel, la sals - October 16, 2026
We plan to make Mt Mellenthin (12,645 ft) and Mt Laurel (12,279 ft) in La Sals. The TH elevation is approximately 10,020 ft. Although the elevation gain is not a lot, the last part to the summits are steep. I have been to the bottom of Mt Laurel. Although I haven't hiked those peaks yet, I am familiar with the route. We will do dispersed car camping near the TH. Trip schedule: Oct 16 Fri: road trip (approximately 4 hours from SLC) & set up a campsite. Oct 17 Sat: hike (approximately 6 miles RT). Oct 18 Sun: Road trip. The schedule may be adjusted depending on the conditions. Some participants may go home on Saturday. Participants must: 1) have excellent stamina; 2) be comfortable to hike on tulsa. and 4) no history of altitude problems above 12,000 ft. Camping experience strongly desired. For more details, please contact the organizer. Limit 10. WMC members only.
