Note: This hike is a conditioning hike for future 14er hikes. The distance and alt. gain have been chosen for this purpose. There is also significant scrambling involved to reach the peaks. If you are new to hiking 14ers, it is highly recommended that you do several lower altitude hikes to acclimate yourself. None of the organizers of this group are professional guides (just hikers like yourself) and shall not be held liable for your safety. Your personal safety is your own responsibility! When you RSVP to this hike, you are acknowledging this caution and that you are aware of the hazards of mountain hiking!
