Meeting at 10:00 AM in the north parking lot of the east Rattlesnake Ledge Trailhead. More information will be given in Hiker email.
Restroom and portapotties are available near official trailhead, shortly after our hike begins.
We will hike this lovely trail which has been greatly improved by the WTA and others. Passing through a mossy forest and steadily climbing to the overlook. We will enjoy the views from the overlook and have lunch at this spot.
Possible option, if the group decides and weather is favorable, to continue on to the Second Ledge. This will add a little over .5 mile to the trip
