Fitness Series: Hike 7 Boneshaker to 3 Amigos-Skull/Overlook down Muffins

Before You Join Us
To help us get everyone on the trail safely and efficiently, please complete the VegasHikers participant waiver before the hike. Completing it in advance helps speed up the check-in process so we can spend less time on paperwork and more time enjoying the trail. Click to open➡️Participant Waiver and download it, fill it out, and email it to the address provided ( highlighted in yellow).

If you have already filled out a participant waiver from me, there's nothing else to do!

📌 Another challenging hike right from the start! After a 7-8 min walk, we head southeast and begin ascending Boneshaker, which immediately becomes steep and continues to climb without any flat sections for just over a mile before eventually leveling out. Next, we connect to Three Amigos, leading us to the top of Skull (Bob Gnarly), continue to the Overlook, then to Bomb Voyage/Muffin Ridge, and descend Muffin back to the parking lot. Since the goal of this hike is fitness, you'll need to maintain a fast pace.

These hikes are designed to strengthen cardiovascular health and, ultimately, your pace and stamina on the trails.

📌New attendees ( that have not joined from the first hike) are not allowed; as these hikes are progressively harder. 📌

Note to Consider Before Signing Up!
These are advanced fitness hikes, not beginner hikes. This is not a hike to test whether you can keep up. You should already know from your current hiking experience that you can maintain the stated pace, distance, and terrain for the entire hike.

I will be running this Fitness Series on a seasonal basis (Fall & Spring).

Carry a minimum of 2 L of water, a light snack, & a headlamp or other light source
