Fat mans Pass at National & Hidden Valley Trails at South Mountain 5.1 Miles, 780’ Elevation
Fat Man’s Pass from the West (South Mountain). Rating D+. Dennis Zigmunt leads. This is a 4.5-mile out and back hike with an elevation gain of about 600 ft. It follows the National Trail starting at the Buena Vista lookout, looping at Hidden Valley through boulders and rock tunnels, and returning on National Trail. Interesting, fun hike, with a few large boulders to climb over and slide down. Restrooms are at the park office. No park fee. Driving distance is 60 miles RT.
