Support: The Omondi Obura Fund for Mental Health and Suicide Prevention at Dartmouth by participating in an annual traditional "Peak Bag" hike and donating to the Fund at https://www.peakbag.org/the-fund

How: Join Bart Miller, an '88 classmate of Omondi, is leading a moderately strenuous hike up Green Mountain. If starting at Chautauqua, the vertical gain is 2,400ft. If starting at the very top of Flagstaff Road, on the Green Mountain west ridge trail, the vertical gain is 500 ft.
Can't make the hike but want to support the Omondi Obura Fund for Mental Health and Suicide Prevention at Dartmouth? You can still contribute here: www.peakbag.org/the-fund
Meet at: Chautauqua Ranger Station Cottage (acts as a trailhead) in Boulder at 8:30 AM. Or, help organize a separate west ridge group to leave closer to 10 a.m. from the top of Flagstaff Road.
Details: The longer of the two routes is a relatively challenging hike of over 6 miles total. It features 3 miles of steady climbing to a high point of 8,100 feet. The top of Green Mountain has a lovely view of Boulder (to the east) and the Continental Divide (to the west) and just enough room for a group photo. After a moment of reflection, we will descend the same trail. Participants are welcome to hike at their own pace or stay with the group. Bring snacks, water, and a rain coat.

RSVP: Contact Bart Miller '88, [email protected] or 303-886-9871 to let him know by Monday, September 30th if you plan to join the hike October 6th .
