📌 There is a chance of rain on Sep 4 so the trailhead and route will be determined at the parking garage. If you have a preference or suggestion, please let me know.
I suggest bringing an umbrella, or a rain jacket, poncho, or windbreaker. A pack cover is also useful. The more prepared we are, the less likely it will rain!
