Telescope Peak and Mosaic Canyon Geo-hike, Death Valley National Park
tdavisgeo.substack.com
Our annual Geo-hike event (10/20-22/2022). Our meetup point was Wildrose Campground at 5:00 PM on Thursday 10/20/2022 and we camped there Thursday and Friday nights and departed Saturday. On Friday (10/21) we hiked to the top of Telescope Peak (11,049 ft) within Death Valley National Park. This is not an easy hike and most of the trail is above 9,000 with thin air. My GPS recorded 13.1 miles roundtrip hike from the trailhead at Mahogany Flat with a net elevation gain of 3,619 feet (It's the same trail to the peak and the return to Mahogany Flat). Our moving time was 6.1 hours and we hiked at 2.12 MPH. Happy to report we all made it to the top, and back.
