MMM = Massive Multi Meetup!!

The event has been reposted due to the National Park Service having a few concerns regarding this event. Pretty simple stuff, but previously we were way over the limit allowed.

The rules:

1) 50 hikers and no more than 12 cars per group.
2) Stay on the established trails, no trail cutting.
3) Don't use chalk or flower to mark trails.
4) Leave No Trace, Trash In Trash Out, etc. etc.

This will be an awesome event as several Hiking and Outdoors Meetups converge on the Tri-Peaks from various locations. From Hardcore Hiker to Advanced Beginner. If we happen to get rained out on this date, the make-up date is March 19th. This is a Moderate/Advanced Hike. We'll start at the Mishe Mokwa Trail Head, meet up at Tri-Peaks with the other meetup groups and have lunch. We'll be doing Mishe Mokwa/Tri-Peaks/Sandstone Peak. There will be some climbing to get to the top of Sandstone Peak. Our route includes the spectacular Echo Cliffs where rock climbers ascend shear cliffs, a house sized boulder delicately balanced on a small rock beneath, a giant split rock, sheer walls, stunning giant sandstone formations, and breathtaking views from the top of Sandstone Peak and Inspiration point. We'll also do a little cave exploring at Tri-Peaks.

Here's a list of local Meetup groups that will be joining in this adventure so far:

The Los Angeles Hiking Meetup - 7-8 mi. 1800 gain - Us :)

The Thousand Oaks Hikers ~ 9 mi. 1700 ft. gain
