Meeting place to be provided closer to the departure. 

Expect to start hiking from the trail-head at about 9am.

Some of the guides suggest this is a trip for August-October, but considering the warm weather this May and June, by the end of July most of the snow show be melted and flowers should be blooming. 

More information as we get closer to the departure.
