I: RABBIT RAMP-UP HIKE #4 -- Martinez Mtn (6,560+') & Sheep Mtn (5,141')
I: RABBIT RAMP-UP HIKE #4 -- Martinez Mountain (6,560+') and Sheep Mountain (5,141'): Join us for the fourth in a series of five every-other-Saturday hikes. The Seventh Annual Rabbit Ramp-Up hike series will culminate with a hike to Rabbit Peak #2 in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. With around 22 miles and about 8300 feet of elevation gain round trip, Rabbit Peak is the toughest day hike among the Hundred Peaks Section's 280 peaks. The Rabbit Ramp-Up series is designed to provide the desert hiking experience and conditioning necessary to handle the "BIG Bunny." Martinez Mountain (an HPS Star Peak) and Sheep Mountain are beautiful and demanding peaks in the 72,259-acre Santa Rosa Wilderness in the Santa Rosa Mountains of Riverside and San Diego Counties. Stunning views will include those of the surrounding mountains, Palm Desert and the Coachella Valley. We will hike at a moderate pace. Total distance should be around 20 miles, and total gain should be about 6,000 feet. Bring food, beverage, hiking footwear, layers, headlamp, hat and sunblock. This back country outing requires the completed paper Local Outing Medical Form to be reviewed by the Primary Leader at the trailhead prior to the hike. Contact Primary Leader for status and details.
