Sheep Mountain guides will lead this hike as part of a celebration of the organization’s 35th anniversary, and will give attendees insight on their environmental advocacy while exploring the lower eastern portion of the Sneffels Highline. Ruthie Boyd, Sheep Mountain Alliance Program Coordinator, stated “we will be pointing out public lands on the route that have been conserved through advocacy and environmental policy for their outstanding values to our ecosystems and communities.” This will be a strenuous out and back exploration of the bottom of the Sneffels Highline Trail and will depart from the Museum at 9am. The hike is estimated to last about 4 hours, will be just over 6 miles total, and is roughly 1,600′ in elevation gain. Participants are welcome to continue hiking following the program but are cautioned to plan accordingly as the Sneffels Highline is typically a difficult, full-day hike, totaling over 13 miles when completed as a full loop.
