Sunset and Sunrise from Mt. Pico

A famous event at Pico Blanco Scout Reservation is the Monday night ascent of Mt. Pico for Scouts 14 and older. Scouts depart after merit badges and ascend the Great White Mountain, arriving at the 3709' summit cone just in time for the most glorious sunset ever over the Pacific Ocean. After a night atop the mountain, Scouts arise as the sun rises over the Ventana Cones and make it back to camp for a well deserved breakfast. This hike is challenging and strenuous but rewarding.
