TBD.
We will hike in and set up camp near the lake on day 1. On day 2 we will climb both Golden Horn and Tower Mountain. If for some reason we only get one summit on day 2 we will climb the second peak before hiking back to the cars. If we get both peaks on day 2 on day 3 we will get an early start and hike back to the cars . This will be a moderated paced climb. A detail email will be sent out the Tuesday before the climb.
