Day Hike - Big Creek Loop

A moderate-to-strenuous evening hike around big creek loop with heavy packs. This trip DOES NOT qualify for a conditioner requirement for the Scrambling and/or Climbing class, nor is it a traditional hike. It's purpose is conditioning while carrying a full pack. I plan on carrying a 35-40lb pack to simulate what I would carry on a climb, although attendees are welcome to carry whatever weight makes sense for their conditioning journey.
