Description

Come start your week with us on our Super Treks in the Landmarks as we explore Limestone Canyon and the Red Rock Wilderness. This area exhibits a range of very special geologic formations, has had various historic and recreational uses, and is home to a diverse population of plants and animals.

We will enjoy beautiful views of rugged canyons from Limestone Ridge and then head over to the Red Rock Wilderness where we will hike around the base of the iconic Red Rocks before climbing up for a view from the top. Along the way, we will pass a model airplane airport and have amazing views of Irvine Lake. Note that we may encounter stream crossings. The route for this hike may be shortened or altered due to trail conditions or adverse weather.

Please wear hiking shoes/boots and bring water, a trail snack, sunscreen, hat, and any other necessary equipment to keep you safe on the trail. Hiking poles may be handy.
Participants must be able to hike 10 miles with an elevation gain of 1000 feet at an average moving rate of 3 miles per hour. Reviewing the 1-through-5 Difficulty Ratings will help you evaluate your readiness for this level-4 activity on the land.
