***IMPORTANT: Those signing up for all 3 can sign up first starting 4/6 @8am. Those not signing up for all 3 hikes can start signing up on 4/10 @8am. Please follow this guideline as I'll need to remove your name if you don't.
The 3 hikes proposed are:
5/18 - Cape Horn out & back: 5-6mi/1300-1500' gain
5/19 - Dog Mtn: 6.5mi loop: 6.5mi/2800-3000' gain
5/20 - Coyote Wall Classic Full Loop: 6.5mi/1500-1750' gain
I'm leading these because I want to enjoy the views and flowers. These hikes will be led at a moderate pace.
There may be changes to these hikes, but the stats will be similar if other hikes are proposed.
Accommodations are on your own. I should be at the WestCliff Lodge in Hood River 5/18-21th, although this could change
I may increase the roster size if there are many waitlisted.
Bad weather will likely cancel the hikes.
