    I'm not sure where Vivian Creek is, but for the trail that we're taking, we won't need a permit. at least that's been my experience from the last 4 times I've hiked this trail. I could be wrong. I'm still doing research though, and ironing out the details...so be patient. All the details are coming as soon as I have more time to work on this event.

    It is a definitely a challenge, but it's really not as tough as it seems. Everyone can do it. It's a steady hike about 8 miles to our campsite, and then the next day another 4 miles, and then we head back down which will take 2 1/2 to 3 hours. We'll go at a good steady pace the whole way and will be taking lots of water breaks. What will make it a tougher hike though is that you'll have to carry all your camping gear, sleeping bag, food, etc to the top, so pack light n' efficient. :)

    So this hike isn't the easiest from what I am reading. The shortest route (Vivian Creek) is about 8 miles one way with 5,419 feet of elevation gain. Vivian Creek also requires a permit to be able to take that route, but that permit would need to be requested 3-4 weeks in advance.

    Isaac: I didn't have too many options for dates, so I scheduled this event for Aug 11th. But I'm now moving this event to June 30th so we can hike in better weather.
