Trailhead early morning. It is a long 3+ hour drive, so I strongly suggest car camping somewhere along the way the night before. Car camping might be available at the Viento State Park, Oregon.
IMPORTANT: there is a lot of poison oak along the trail, as well as ticks and the possibility of rattlesnakes - take that into consideration and prepare for it if you want to go. If rain is forecast, I will either cancel or change the destination.
Additional information will be emailed to participants.
