Unlike most other hiking trips, we will start by boosting our sugar levels with a tour of the Ben and Jerry's factory, after which we will start our hike.
This is an 8-km/5-mi hike. Due to the timing of the hike, we will have a snack break in the Pinnacle overlook and a small picnic at the top of Hogback Mountain, before beginning our descent. This should take 4-4.5 hrs.
This is the route that we will be following.

/*** How to get there? ***/
We'll meet at Pinnacle Meadows Trailhead. Note that parking is very limited, so we should do our best to reduce the number of cars. I created a Group Carpool link.
Drivers, add your cars and planned departure locations. Riders, if you don't see cars available, join the carpool waitlist, so others can see how many people are looking for a ride.
If you want to ride with me, message me BEFORE you add your name in the carpool.

/** What to bring? **/
At least 3L of water
Hiking boots.
Sunscreen.
A windbreaker. The top might be windy.
Some snacks and a dehydrated meal.

/** Dos and DON'Ts **/
- DO remember that you are an adult and nobody but yourself is responsible for your safety. Check the route and weather forecast, and make sure that you are ok with the plan.
- DO NOT be a "No Show". If you don't show up or change your RSVP to no after 8 PM the night before the event, you may be waitlisted for the next event. We usually have waitlists for these hikes and we want to make sure that everyone has a good time.
- DO speak up. If you need a break or need to leave early, tell someone else in the group, preferably the organizer or someone with a walkie talkie.
- DO NOT show up if you are in the waitlist or didn't RSVP. This may get you banned from the group.
