A Town and Country day hike: Tuesday, Sept. 20th.


ACAA hikers...Don't let the headline fool you, this will be a good workout for both trail veterans and newbies.  The TH is located on the edge of Silverthorn, at 9,250’ elevation.

The easy/moderate hike meanders through Aspen and Pine forests, while gaining 2,690’ elevation in 5.1 miles to the summit of Ptarmigan Peak.   

On the way, expect views of the Continental Divide, Tenmile and Williams Fork Range, Buffalo Peak, and Red Peak.  Ptarmigan Peak at 12,948’ is located in the heart of the 12,584 acre Ptarmigan Wilderness.
