Meet at 8:30 AM at the Bullitt Fireplace Trailhead, ready to hike. The most difficult part of the day will be winding through the neighborhood to find the trailhead! There are six parking spaces. Others will need to park on widened sections of the curvy mountain road. 

This is a well marked trail with a steady climb to begin with. No special equipment or technical skills required.
