Mount Maroon — Local services in Barney View

Located in Mt Barney. TBH the entrance is very tricky, no signboard, I have to follow the GPS and the volla, it leads me to the entrance. But there will be no signal when you are on your way though.

This is not a beginner hike, so it is still manageable. Just you have to follow the direction mark very very well and it is very easy to get lost there, at least I was the one who got lost and spent an hour trying to figure out which is the way. It will be better if you download the trail navigation map in advance.

At the end of the part you will need to do some rock climbing but it is just about 45 degrees. Just rmb, follow the navigation mark which is the little arrow stick on the rock. If you are kind of lost, just follow the right side when you are on your way up.

Such spectacular views at the top! Fabulous hike. We took a bottle of wine and snacks. Once you’ve accomplished the hike, you really should enjoy the time at the top and take in the view. The chimney is the hardest part of climb, with some upper body strength needed to get up. Otherwise it’s a leg workout with lots of rock scrambling but much of the hike is actually in the shade. Only exposed at the...
