Frontier Trails: Summit Rucu Pichincha

📅 Sunday, July 26
🕐 8:00 AM
📍 Meeting point: DM me for deets

Quito TrailMix is heading back to Rucu Pichincha, and this time, we're going for the summit.

Rucu Pichincha is one of the most rewarding hikes near Quito, and this month's Frontier Trails challenge is all about pushing our group to the top. The trail includes a rocky, volcanic sand section just before the summit, so preparation matters.

What to bring:
Plenty of water
Snacks
Warm layers (it gets cold and windy at altitude)
Sturdy hiking shoes
Gloves are recommended for the jagged rocks near the summit

Not up for the full summit push? No problem. You're welcome to wait for the group at Cueva del Oso, or head back down independently.

Quito TrailMix is a free, community-organized hiking and explorer's club and not a guided tour. We hike together, we push our limits together, and we support each other along the way.

Come join us for what promises to be one of our best adventures yet!
