This is Early Bird Hiking's weekly Monday evening outing led by Tim. It is a happy mixture of fun, food, friends and a fine trail. We realize that the 5 p.m. start time isn't good for many of you, but the problem is that the gate three miles below Chantry Flat is locked at 8 p.m., so we need to be back to the parking lot by about 7:30. We set a moderate pace, which will get us back in time and still allow us a good mid-way break at Hoegee Campground.
