This is not a starter or introduction to Charleston Peak.
I will join Skip's Trail canyon hike and will climb up to the trail junction in fast pace. But you don't have to hike in fast pace. I will wait at trail junction until everyone comes up.
We will hike in moderate pace, but it will be faster pace for beginners. I will stop frequently for let slow hikers to catch up with group.
Bring lots of water, food/snacks, cap/hat, sunglass, sunscreen.
Since its under monsoon season, you must bring rain gear(poncho) even its sunny. Mountain weather changes very quickly. Rain won't kills you but cold temperature will kill you!
It will be bit chilly at the Peak, so please bring light jacket.
Trekking Pole will helps you if you bring it.

Let's meet at Starbuck's (95/Durango) on 7:45AM.
Skip's trail Canyon hike group is meeting at there. So, make sure you are with right group when carpool.
Plan to carpool and riders should chip in $5-$6 for gas.

Our trail head is Trail Canyon Trail head. But we will finish at South Loop trail head. So, we will leave few cars at there before hiking.

Any question? Call me or email me.
