Trip
Open Backpack - Ancient Lake
A fun and basic early-season backpack. As a non-weekend trip, it should be relatively quiet. We will also have a fun optional afternoon hike and discuss geology. We will have to pack in our water but the route is so flat and short that the extra weight should not be a concern for anyone. If another mid-week day would work better for you, let me know (I'm experimenting with mid-weeks)
