Launch Party
Sunday, May 18th, 3:30-5:30pm
Scout Hut, Salida, CO
Join us as we celebrate the launch of Women of the Sawatch!
Help us choose our color scheme, connect with an amazing crew of local women, and share good vibes (and even better carbs). We’re calling it “Community and Carbs”—because few things go better with outdoor adventures than great company and a delicious cookie.
High Lo Course Preview
Saturday, June 14th
Start Time: 7:00 am, Monarch Pass Parking Lot
Route: LWH (Boss Lake TH) to Monarch
Distance: 13 miles
Vert: +4150/-2540
Description: Come join for a half day run to preview the highest part of the High Lo course, the head wall and CDT. Most runners experience this portion at night so a day time dry run is a great way to get familiar with the trail. We'll meet at the Monarch Pass Parking Lot at 7am and shuttle down to the Boss Lake TH. From there we'll take the CR230 for 1.5miles until we meet up with the High Lo course at the Boss Lake/Hunt Lake Trail. We'll end back at Monarch Pass and grab lunch to celebrate a solid day out! This is a great time to practice carrying required gear, at the least we recommend bringing rain gear in case of inclement weather. Please RSVP on the discord so we can get an accurate read on the group size.
