Mount Jefferson

Believe In Yourself and Get Out There!

Come hike one of the historic presidential peaks with us during one of the most beautiful months of the year! Take your time, receive healthy fuel and embrace the mountains that make us stronger.

 

Breaking down the hike:

What Mountain: Mount Jefferson

Start Time: 9am

Total Length of the hike: 5.3

Elevation Gain: 2,690 ft

This hike is for all level but can be considered generally challenging.

Risk Management: Warm layers & waterproof clothing is required. NO COTTON please- we recommend wool or synthetic blends. Please see our hiking page for more details

Booking: Booking is done below, make sure to mark the proper month/date when purchasing your spot!

Mode of Operations: Hiking Adventures with Rooted Rose

  1. Arrival Time:

    • All hikers are strongly advised to arrive at the trailhead half an hour before the scheduled hike start time. This allows for proper group coordination and ensures a timely departure.

  2. Purpose of the Hike:

    • Peaking the mountain is never the sole objective of our hikes. We embark on these journeys to hike, enjoy nature, and foster a sense of community. If circumstances such as weather, injury, or group dynamics suggest turning back is the best option, your guides will make this decision promptly.

  3. Prior Experience:

    • No prior hiking experience is necessary, but an open mind to the trails is encouraged. Even beginner hikes in the White Mountains present challenges due to rocky terrain, water crossings, and elevation gains. Embrace the adventure, meet the mountain, and learn along the way.

  4. Your Guides - Erika & Dom

    • Dom and Erika are your experienced, insured and dedicated guides. Your main focus is to be a respectful community member and put one foot in front of the other. They are here to ensure a safe and enjoyable hiking experience.

  5. Proper Gear & Preparation:

    • All hikers must come prepared with the proper gear. We are available to schedule a free 15-minute call at any time to address your concerns, discuss necessary equipment, and provide guidance for a successful hike. Winter Gear and backpacks are available to rent when booking

  6. TRUST:

    • You are capable of navigating the challenges presented by the trail. Trust in your abilities, stay open to the experience, and revel in the journey.

Reminders:

  • When booking please make sure you scroll to the exact month/date in the calendar before purchasing.

  • Hiking is about the experience, not just reaching the summit.

  • Challenges are part of the adventure; embrace and learn from them.

  • Safety is our top priority; decisions to turn back are made with careful consideration.

  • Respect the trail, the group, and the guidance of your hosts.

  • Prepare for an adventure that goes beyond the physical journey—Rooted Rose hiking experiences are about connection, growth, and the joy of exploration.Reminders:
