MO: Priest, Spy Rock, Mt Pleasant, Cole Mountain (32 miles)


Details
I'd like to get some sunset and sunrise views from mountains this weekend. The plan is to meet at Vienna at 1:00pm and drive to Long Mountain Wayside parking, leave cars for the shuttle, and drive to Priest Wilderness trailhead parking lot. We'll hike about 4.5 miles to the summit shelter, hopefully just in time for sunset. The next day we will continue to Spy Rock and set up camp near the summit of Mt Pleasant. We'll have to bring enough water capacity because this campsite may be dry. On the final day, we'll head over Cole Mountain and down to the shuttle parking. Splits are 4.5/18/9.5.
NOTE: If we do not get enough cars, we'll switch to Priest and Three Ridges
