CHS 1 Hike - Dirty Harry's Balcony

Meet at 7 am at the Dirty Harry's parking lot (I-90 Exit 38).  We are leaving early to avoid the crowds on the popular trail.

Bring hiking poles if you have them.  May recommend micro-spikes if trip reports closer to the hike report slippery snow or ice.  We have 1 pair of YakTrax we can loan someone if needed.
