    About

    The Sunnyside–Radio Tower hike is a challenging 4.80-mile trail that gains significant elevation, ultimately reaching 9333 feet. This difficult hike typically takes around 3 hours and 12 minutes to complete, and its high elevation means that trail conditions can be snowy and icy during the winter months, from January to March. The route is steep and demanding, but it offers scenic views of the surrounding mountains. Hikers should be prepared for varying trail conditions throughout the year, and parking is available at the trailhead.
