Meet at the trailhead (the upper parking lot, near the bathroom area) at 7:40am and be ready to go at 7:55pm. A discovery pass is needed for parking at the TH.
We will hike up Mailbox Old Trail at your own pace, but we will travel together as a group coming back down on Mailbox new trail or old trail depending on group's desire.
If you are in Kate/Ambrose's SIG, or we've climbed/hiked together in the past, you have permission to sign up! All others, please request permission and let me know what other hikes you've done recently.
The primary goal for the hike is to get a check on fitness and set expectations for the minimum fitness requirements for successful trips with the Basic Alpine Climbing Course.
Pack weight and mountaineering boots are optional. Dress as appropriate for the weather as this hike will go regardless of the weather.
