3 mi out & back hike with 610 ft Elevation gain. We’ll meet at the parking lot and leave at 7:05ish to give any late comers a chance to show up. This is similar to last week’s hike, which was very pleasant with our early start time and the cool shade of the canyon.
Here are the usual things to keep in mind:
•Stay on the trail, follow trail signs and yields, don't walk off the trail
•Protect yourself from the sun with sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat
•Take breaks often
•Know your limits and how you're feeling
•Bring water and a snack, if you need one
We Follow Leave No Trace principles
•Don't litter
•Pack out trash, recyclables, and food waste
•Leave the area as you found it
