Ellevated Hike - Backpacking training day

The full day is a double Goldwater Lakes Loop. Each loop is 7.7 miles, 700 ft gain. Total mileage is 15.4 and 1400 ft gain.

The first loop will start at 7:30, the second loop will start around noon. Feel free to join us for both or either one. We'll go in the opposite direction the second time so it will seem like a new hike.

We'll be doing this at a backpacking pace, which will include breaks. The reason for the double loop is so that we can make any gear at the halfway point. This is a little bit longer, and a little bit more elevation gain than our longest Prescott Circle day. I will have full weight, you decide what is best for you.

You are responsible for your safety. Please make surw you know your limits and honor your body. I have no specialized training, but I'm volunteering to show you the way.
