Meeting place & time specifics TBD. Plan on an early start to maximize on daylight. I plan to camp Friday & Saturday night close by.
This will be a point to point with cars staged for shuttling which will need some carpooling. The plan is to hike this in a day, even though it is listed as a trail run since it will be a faster pace than if we were backpack it. There may be some sections we jog/run pending on group energy & safety.
Plan on packing lite & swift almost as if we were fact packing.
The plan is this track on GAIA.
More info to come.
If you do not have the backcountry trail run badge but would like to join us, please still reach out to see if this HIKE is a good fit.
