Jason came across a wild trail called Hibox Mountain and quickly added it to our growing list of adventures for the summer. One trail report described it as having “a map-measured grade of 47 degrees”—steeper than Asgard Pass and the Old Mailbox trail, and comparable to the Kamikaze route on Mount Teneriffe. In Taylor’s words, parts of the climb were simply “hectic.” And he wasn’t wrong—the final mile alone climbs over 3,000 feet! Still, the trail didn’t disappoint. It was a true test of stamina and grit, rewarded by absolutely stunning views at the summit. All in all, 8 miles and around 4,000 feet of elevation gain made for one unforgettable day on Monday.
