This will be a custom route to Wilderness Peak. This route has less elevation gain than the typical route.

The park closes at dusk though seeing as dusk will be at 9:27 PM for the hike we should be able to finish the hike with time to spare.

  • Bring illumination. Even though we'll get out before dusk, it's likely that it may be dark in the forest.
