*Please check comments the morning of event.
This is a difficult hike (note the elevation gain)

Feel free to turn back if it is outside of your comfort zone. Note the end time is arbitrary as every Meet Up group moves at a different pace. I cannot guarantee when you will be finished. I will post in the comments about weather when we get closer.

Be prepared with your own food and water (being more than you think, and a water filter), food prep materials, first aid, BYOB, sunblock, bug spray, tent, sleeping gear, hat, head lamp, and swim wear/water shoes/towel/dry change of clothes. Bring $10 per vehicle for the parking fee- please try to car pool.

You must agree to keep your RSVP updated so that people from the waitlist can join, drink responsibly, drive responsibly, and LEAVE NO TRACE/ no litter, and utilize the bathroom facilities or be 200 feet from water sources per State Park regulations.
Comment below if you are interested in carpooling. Summit Park and Ride in South Reno is a good spot.
Please be fully educated, experienced, and prepared for the amount of time you plan to stay, especially when camping. Test out gear/tent/food prep at home before coming.
