Timed Hike up Atalya at your own pace!

PLEASE READ ENTIRE HIKE DESCRIPTION AND CHECK BACK DAY OF FOR ANY UPDATES

This is meant to be done at your own pace to find out, maybe, maybe not, if you are ready to hike with other groups...We start from the stairs, going up the easy route starting our timers and when on top. stop timers and have lunch. I will wait for everyone on top or you will be waiting for me! then we will start our timers and go down steep way. it is mandatory you bring 2 poles for this unless you are a very experienced hiker. you mainly need the poles on short steep section going down and when you are going down to go faster. this is where you can make up time. dogs are welcome and must be leashed...I will wait for everyone at stairs on the bottom where we will stop our timers... we will be separated from each other by speed and that is okay. We are going to learn what we need to do to improve and if we are ready for other group's hikes. more info to come. I just got back from Florida and thought better to do something then nothing and this is an excellent conditioning hike and the scenery is beautiful and spectacular! This hike is listed on Alltrails and you can find more info there.

NOTE: there may still be some snow as we summit so bring your crampons. trail will most likely be packed but in the case of formidable snow cover we will turn around and go back. that is always an option. Hopefully, weather will warm up and all snow will melt...
