fall foliage mini peak bagging day hike - October 4, 2026

This is a mellower version of Brad's hike offered on the same day. We will hike through peak fall foliage terrain and climb Soldier, Wilson, Gobblers Knob and (optionally) Circle Awl along the way. We will be doing a loop that starts and ends at the Butler Fork Trailhead. The hike will be off trail or on goat trails for a significant portion of the route. Be prepared for a steep climb in places and a longer day with ups and downs along the ridge. Pace will be moderate. This trip is borderline MSD-, but I'm calling it MOD+ since we can slow the pace down if need be. If people are keen, we can also add Reynold's Peak (which adds an extra mile and 500 feet of vertical and bumps us to an MSD-)
