Hike: Plum Canyon/Sentenac Mountain Loop (Strenuous)
Hike Leader: Rachel Rench
This hike will start at the parking area on Hwy 78 on a cross country route over to Plum Canyon. After dropping into Plum Canyon we’ll turn Right and climb up a wash to Sentenac Mtn and enjoy the view of Granite Peak, Shelter Valley and the San Felipe Valley. From the top of the mountain we’ll head West, then South, briefly dropping into Plum Canyon. We’ll stay in this wash, and climb out and over a steep hill where we negotiate our way into a rocky drainage and the East Fork of Plum Canyon. We’ll return to our cars on the jeep road. The loop covers 6 miles, and 900 ft of elevation gain to Sentenac Mountain. Meet at ABDNHA at 8am to carpool to the parking area. Bring lunch, snacks and 2 liters of water per person.
