No parking pass required.
There are no restrooms at this trailhead. There may or may not be a portalet at about the half way point of our run.
Route will be an out and back up Big Tree Ridge Trail to Anti-Aircraft Peak. Run/power hike the ups, steady pace run the flats and downs. Posted pace is an estimate.
This will be a group paced run and no one gets left behind.
I'm guessing we'll run just under 2 hours. Sunset is at 7:10, but bring a headlamp or running light just incase.
Post run meet-up at Formula Brewing for beverages and food. We'll grab a table outside so it's suggested to bring a light over layer of clothing just in case it cools off significantly.
