From Rendezvous Mountain, take the Upper Rock Springs Loop along the ridge line towards the summit of Cody Peak. Along this trail is technical terrain and steep climbing. There will be a rope assist at this section to use.
After reaching the Cody Peak summit, descend down (rope assist available) and make your way back down to the Upper Rock Springs Loop. Continue down a service road to the upper Rock Springs drainage. Descend on the "climbers trail" for ~4.5 miles until reaching Yurt trail and connecting back to Hoback Trail. The remainder of the course is in reverse to the JHMR base area.
The course will be marked with BLUE flagging, caution tape, chalk and more.
