Prefer camping at the trail head to avoid driving both ways on the same day
We will do the Mineral creek approach (some brushy approach in the beginning - so wear water resistant pants). Aim to is to complete the car to car in around 10-12 hours. We'll be moving briskly, with quick breaks along the way
Expected to take 6-7 hours on the way up and 4-5 hours on the way down.
** Leaders permission required to make sure we have a steady paced group. Email me with your recent conditioning**
