The
flight to the airstrip travels through the University Range and
some of the most stunning terrain that the park has to offer. The
route travels through country that is as varied as it is magnificent.
The Pyramid Peak Traverse is a rewarding and challenging
trip.
After a traverse on the shoulders of Pyramid Peak, the route crosses a high ridge of Andrus Peak. The views from the top are stunning and varied. From the lofty ridge you will drop down into a valley that has a rich gold mining history. Mining debris and old shafts are still in evidence along the way.
Our
route ends at May Creek where you can spend our last night in a cozy
public-use cabin (first come, first served) where you can warm your weary feet by the wood stove.
**This route involves river crossings, steep traversing on scree and talus slopes. Just over the ridge on Andrus you descend a snow field at the edge of a glacier. Crampons are not required but you may feel more comfortable with them. This is a trip for experience wilderness travelers or as a guided adventure.
