THE PALISADE TRAVERSE

This iconic traverse links five 14000’ peaks along a wild and exposed ridge

The Sierra Nevada’s Premier Traverse Route

The Palisades are one of the most storied sub-ranges of the Sierra, and this traverse connects five 14ers along its technical spine.

Big Backcountry Days, sleep on the route
