"Calamity Canyon" is rated a 3+. This trail is in a
beautiful narrow-walled canyon for most of its length. The trail crosses Bear Butte Creek
numerous times. A major obstacle on the trail is the Boulder Highway, a 200-yard
stretch of large, jumbled rocks. After a leisurely lunch, you work over several minor
obstacles and then come fact-to-face with Viper Rock. The rock is so named, not because of
the snakes in the area, but due to the shape of the large flat off-camber rock you have to
negotiate. It's then off to the highway, back through Deadwood or Galena, and then down to
the campground. Note: There is an optional 4+ obstacle called "The Bump" that is
available to locked vehicles if time permits; check with the trail leaders. |
