While this trip is appropriate to beginning backpackers, you must be fit enough to carry your full pack 10-12 miles and up to 3,000 feet gain. This is NOT appropriate for you if you are uncomfortable with heights. We’ll be up early in the morning, but travel at a moderate pace. Bear safety measures required.
