Be aware there is a scramble trip to Goat Island Mountain meeting at the same. Please make sure you ask which group is going to South Slide and Brown Peak and be sure to get in the right car.
This is exploratory for the leader. Leader has done Marcus and Palisades in the same general area.
We will start at Sunrise Point and descend into the Palisades trail basin. We will complete Brown Peak first which is a walk up. We will continue north to South Slide Mountain and return the way we came.
We should have nice weather and good fall colors.
