Overview

Need to Know

If you choose to start at the Sonora Pass Trailhead, park a second car at the bottom of this run or plan on hitchhiking. This is about a 10-15 drive and is longer than it looks. Don't plan on walking it.

Description

This is the 5-star descent from Leavitt Peak. Drop down the main bowl or the Levitt Peak Y-Couloir and continue down skier's left through amazing rolling hills and enjoy the massive cliffs on both sides. When getting near the road, be careful crossing the creek. Some areas require a short climb to get back to the road.
