Not so late Moderate hike @ Lake Del Valle(7.5mi/1400' gain)

Join us for a scenic hike at Lake del Valle This is a MODERATE-level route at about 7.5 miles with 1400' elevation gain.

Very little shade and should be a warm day, so sun protection is a must. Long pants recommended to avoid bugs.

I'll wait about 15min with intention to start hiking at 10:30. All things considered, the entire loop should take about 2.5 - 3 hours. Won't take a formal lunch stop but can take water breaks as often as needed. Will maintain group for entire duration, stopping at intersections.
