Trailhead elevation about 1800' , Round 2296' , Frissell 2453' and Brace 2311'. Brace is the last summit and has the most expansive views so we can relax there for a while.. There is some steep rock scrambling near the summits of Round and Frissell so gloves with grip and knee protection may be helpful. You should be doing regular aerobic exercise to participate. Dress for the weather in non cotton clothes and wear sturdy hiking boots.Bring lunch , plenty of hydration/electrolytes as there are **NO WATER SOURCES**, snacks, bug spray and carpool $ . No dogs please. Trailhead parking is limited so we should carpool as much as possible. We will make a pitstop at the Stewarts in Hillsdale on the way down. We can stop at Four Brothers Pizza in Hillsdale or Chief Martindale in Craryville for food after the hike, for those interested.
