Backpack - Black Canyon (Umtanum Ridge)

Meet at 9AM at the trailhead - google map location https://goo.gl/maps/gA1373kYhj12.  Leader will contact participants in advance to discuss carpools.

** LEADERS PERMISSION REQUIRED ONLY SO LEADER CAN BE SURE TO TALK TO ALL WHO SIGN UP **

 ** NOTE: There is no water at camp so you'll have to carry it, also, it tends to be really windy on the ridge where we set up tents **

 We will hike at a slow to moderate pace, taking frequent breaks - photography is encouraged.  To keep the group together we may opt to have the slowest hiker lead. We will stop for an extended lunch (~20 minutes) or when we get to camp. We will break camp and head back to our cars Sunday morning around 9am. 

 ** NOTE ** This trip is *NOT* recommended if:

• you prefer to read in your tent the rest of the day once you get in camp (this trip is meant for those that like to be social)
• you like to keep to yourself on a hike and would prefer not to talk to others
• you are awake earlier than 5am and get bored waiting for other folks to wake up
• you don't like, or have problems with, hiking at a slower pace
