Since there has been some changes to what we will be doing for this hike, it is now a partial loop. And because the elevation gain varies between applications, I've increased it to 900, but again, a margin of error is to be expected. We will hike and if the group feels like it's too much, we can always turn around and return to our cars.
Hike is largely open. There is some forest canopy, but mostly not.
Required Equipment
In addition to the 10 essentials, bring at least 32 oz of water. If it's sunny that day, be sure to bring a hat/sunscreen and sunglasses if being more in the open is cause for concern to you.
Sturdy boots/shoes and poles if you'd like, but not required.
