Vista Butte Hike 

When:  8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 23

We’ll meet at the Country Store parking lot at 8:30  a.m. and carpool to the butte. (The time could be earlier if the forecast is for hot weather.) Drive up Spring River Road and  continue to the Bachelor Junction. Turn right on Century Drive, go just past where the highway divides, and the vista Butte  parking  is a wide spot on the OTHER side of the road. So you need to do either a U-turn or dive down Century until you can turn around to reach the parking. Bring $3 to pay drivers. 

Description:  For a hike that’s just short of five miles roundtrip and a little over 600 feet of  elevation gain (633), the reward at the top  of Vista Butte is great -- outstanding views at 6,619 feet.  Much of the hike is on mountain bike trails, but they’re not generally busy.  The trail is not particularly rocky. There is a kick-up in elevation  just  before you reach the top. We will have to make sure ahead of time that  the trail is pretty much clear of snow for us to do this hike.

When considering signing up for this hike, please review the specifics (e.g. distance, elevation gain, trail surface - gravel, rocky, soft sand etc.) to determine if this trail meets your fitness level.

Gear:  Wear sturdy boots and  layered clothing, bring a hat, sunscreen and mosquito repellant and plenty of water. It could be windy at the summit. We recommend hiking poles. We’ll settle in at the top for a snack or lunch and wander around to take in the views.
