HCCA Hike: Oh-Be-Joyful
Our hike founder, Don Baker, loved to hike Oh-Be-Joyful at the end of each season. We keep with tradition and hike up this beautiful valley in the Raggeds Wilderness (that HCCA helped designate) to a lovely lunch spot with spectacular views. A perfect end to our 34th season of HCCA Hikes!

About the event
Oh-Be-Joyful — Moderate - Difficult, 8 - 10 miles roundtrip
Our hike founder, Don Baker, loved to hike Oh-Be-Joyful at the end of each season. We keep with tradition and hike up this beautiful valley in the Raggeds Wilderness (that HCCA helped designate) to a lovely lunch spot with spectacular views. A perfect end to our 34th season of HCCA Hikes!
All hikes require suitable capability and acclimation, as well as water, hat, rain-gear, sunscreen, lunch, hiking boots and sense of adventure. All distances are round-trip and approximate. Registered hikers meet at the Crested Butte Visitors Center parking lot at 8:30 AM and carpool to trailheads. Please bring vehicles—some destinations depend on suitable clearance. Return times will vary.
We will continue to abide by Forest Service regulations and environmental ethics, limiting our group size to a maximum of 15 people each week, or fewer in certain wilderness areas. Please, no pets.
