This is an early season conditioner with the goal of getting to know some of your fellow Basic Alpine students. We'll target a 2 1/2 hour (ish) car to summit pace. If your familiar with the old trail and feel this is a slow pace, feel free to load up you pack to add to the challenge. If you are not familiar with the old trail, it's a long- steady grind makes for a pretty good leg workout.
We will plan to meet by the gate to the parking lot at 7:00 am. If the gate is opened early (before 7:00 am) we will meet in the main parking lot. We will have brief introductions and plan to be hiking at 7:15 am.
