The goal is to keep everyone warm by moving steadily at a social conversational pace of roughly 2-2.25 mph. We'll take a clothing break after 15-20 minutes, a 5-10 minute sensory break at Ruth's Cove, and a 20-30 min. break at the summit of West Tiger 1 for pictures and a snack depending on wind/weather/visibility. Brisker pace (2.5 mph) on the way down. If the weather cooperates, we'll add a few 3-5 minute sensory pauses for birds, photos, or soaking in the winter beauty.
No Discover Pass is needed since we'll be parking on the road below the Tradition Plateau parking lot. Bring a sense of discovery and a desire for a workout.
I will pass through the 65th Park and Ride for any riders at 6:30 a.m. Everyone else please plan to meet at Exit 20 near the white gate at 7:15 dressed and ready for introductions at 7:30. We'll do a brief warmup and stretches together, then start hiking by 7:40 a.m.
