About the event
Veteran Group Hike - Woods Lake to Fourth of July Peak
Fourth of July Peak is a non-technical, moderately challenging ascent to the 9,537-foot summit. Starting at Woods Lake, the route spends most of the time above the tree line, so be prepared for inclement weather and protect yourself from the sun.
