Leader's notes

Leave late afternoon (after 3pm) on Thursday and hike up to Hidden Lake Lookout/Peak. Setup bivy or small tent and then wake up early dawn to watch the Perseid Meteor shower. If weather right (clouds or weather cancels) we can also enjoy night time photography under the gaining moon. Hike out after leisurely breakfast and enjoy the rest of your Friday off from work!
