Not a beginner hike! The trails are steep and sometimes rough. Please please bring hydration, snacks, snowshoes & micro spikes and be dressed for the weather. If snow has fallen before the hike snowshoes may be required.

Please have food water and money for driver, if you plan to carpool. (I suggest arranging carpooling in comments )
