***Due to length of the hikes, If I am not familiar with your hiking abilities, you must send me have hikes completed of similar distance/elevation in the last 3 months. Contact me directly***

Planned Itinerary: (Hikes may be changed based upon conditions, but will be within similar distance/mileage)

Sunday: Hike 12+/- miles 1300+/- ft Elevation gain (Rating: A). Drive directly to trailhead, ready to step off at 9am. From BFSP it'll take approx 1 hour. This is a nice hike, not as steep or as rocky trails. However at the end, we will be rewarded with some magnificent views of the valley and distant mountains from the rock cliffs that we will hike to. EVENT WILL END AT CONCLUSION OF THIS HIKE.
