Let's plan to meet at Longmire at 8:45am.  Gate scheduled to open at 9am. 

REMINDERS: 1) MRNP entrance fee or pass required for park entrance; 2) all cars required to carry chains after November 1; 3) AIARE 1 required.

Plan is to tour from the Paradise lot with route dependent on the group’s desires and weather.  Expect an easy day with lots of breaks.  Good trip to try out any new gear.  Must have avy gear (shovel/beacon/probe) and some touring experience.  May do some avy beacon recovery practice.

COVID-19 restrictions apply.  Please ensure you are aware of what these are and what they mean for our trip.  Except for participants within the same household, carpools are discouraged.
