Leader's notes

Besides being safe and having fun, there are two important things to note. Please be certain you can hike at this pace over this distance while gaining this elevation gain and have fun doing it. The second is I don't enjoy hiking in rain. Anything other than showers in the forecast the day before will cancel the hike. There could still be some snow on the trails. If this is reported to be more than 3 inches deep, that will also cancel the hike. So lets hope it is a nice day with a great trail. :-)
