This is an exploratory trip up to Pyramid Peak.  We'll hike on the Wonderland trail up to 4,350 ft and then be off trail along Fisher's Hornpipe Creek.  We'll hit the Pyramid Peak trail around 6,280 feet and then saunter up to our summit.   Expect some bushwhacking along the way.  It'll probably be a fairly long day.

I have not done this peak before but I have been up Satulick via the Wonderland and Iron and Copper from Kautz Creek.  A prospectus will be sent out to participants prior to the trip.

6:45am at Longmire by the museum.
