From there we will consolidate vehicles and carpool to the trailhead.
This will be a fairly early time to hit this look out. There still may be snow covering sections of the trail. Because of this fact I may have to require microspikes and poles for this hike. We may also have to do a little route finding if the trail is obscured by snow. Due to these facts I am making this a leader's permission required hike. Please be comfortable hiking on snow. Participants should also have a history of doing hikes with this amount of elevation gain.
