Leader's notes

This is a hike in the mountains and as such be prepared for changes in weather and wear sturdy boots. Bring plenty of water, snacks and lunch. Bring binoculars, hand lens if you have one and access to apps. Lots to see and enjoy and learn on this hike.

We will be hiking all the way to the upper meadow. It is a fantastic area.
