Terrain Description: trail
Approximate Hiking Time: about 4-5 hours

Keep in mind, the hike is Sunday and not Saturday as published originally. I find Meetup annoying for which my description had to be changed after publishing.

This is a hike I discovered from http://www.birdandhike.com/Hike/Mt_Char/Sawmill_Blue/_Sawmill_Blue.htm for which I was impressed with the scenery and would like to share with others. I am bringing along my 11-year old son. It will be all on a trail except for a washed out area for which the trail is gone, but simply requires us to walk in a wash. It is a very nice scenic hike through a very nice scenic area. There is a 30% chance for rain this Sunday so be prepared accordingly just in case.
The trailhead is the Sawmill TH on Lee Canyon Rd on the right about 1.25 miles before reaching Deer Springs Rd. We will park to the far left of the parking lot near the bathroom. I will be driving a tan Mazda 3.

If you don't answer the RSVP question and you are not listed on the LVMC member roles by one week before the trip, I will remove you from the trip without notice since I've experienced so many people who are not paid LVMC members signing up for my trips and now showing up. If you are new to the Meetup group and want to try us out without being a member, please email me and describe your experience for permission on a case-by-case basis. If you submitted your membership within the past month or so, you will probably not appear on the roles as yet so please contact me directly so I don't remove you thinking you are not a paid LVMC member.
