-Looking to start hike at trailhead at 5:30 a.m. sharp. Arrive a bit earlier to pay for parking
- In reviews said it is 5 dollars cash to park vehicle There is mobile app but saw review someone didn't have reception.
-8.3mi length 2,998ft (This length of hike and elevation difference is not an easy hike, please be in good physical shape for this one)
-Headlamp before sunrise
-Layers for warmth and windbreaker (possibly windy\cold at top)
-Good hiking shoes
-Hiking poles if you want them
-Trail appears dry from reviews, no yak tracks or snowshoes necessary
-looks like 5 to 6 hourish hike depending on breaks
-lots of water and your favorite food\snacks for energy, being hungry or thirsty sucks on a long hike, probably don't want to be that guy
