Muscle Powered's Saturday Hike to Escape to Prison Hill: The Abridged Version
Meet in the parking area next to the ranch house at Silver Saddle Ranch off of Carson River Road. Please join us for an 8-mile round-trip hike that traverses most of the "Escape from Prison Hill" trail. We will head up Dead Truck Trail, cross over to hike down to the most western end of Prison Hill, turn south and then east to arrive at the highest point of Prison Hill.
We will end the hike by walking downhill to the Carson River, and back to the ranch house. We will have splendid views of snow-capped mountains to the west of Eagle and Carson Valleys, and will enjoy hearing and seeing a full Carson River. Estimated time of activity is 5 hours.
Required items include snacks, hat, and 3 quarts of water. Dogs are not allowed on this hike. Recommended items include poles, wear two pairs of socks, and clothing layers rather than one large heavy coat.
In case of bad weather, we will cancel. Please check our www.musclepowered.org/calendar or our Facebook page for last minute changes. Contact Chelsea Kincheloe by calling or texting at 970-889-0921, if you have questions.
