Leader's notes

Currently, the weather looks promising.

This will be a moderately-paced hike. The first 5.5 miles are a lovely easy hike on the decommissioned forest road to the turnoff for Nordrum Lake. The last 2 miles gain 2000 feet through the forest.

We will hike as a group and take a bit of a lunch break at the lake.

There may be snow at the lake, but hopefully it isn't too deep to hike through yet (fingers crossed). If we run into deep snow, we will turn around.

I am not turning leader permission on for this activity, so please make sure you feel comfortable with the distance, pace, and elevation gain before signing up.
