This is an 9.6 mile "out and back" hike. We'll start at 5,800' hike down to 4,600'. Have lunch by Tronsen Ridge Peak then hike back up to the trailhead.
This is a ridge hike. Thus, there'll be little water. Alan will be carrying 2 liters. Trail reports from this time last year state roads and trail in good condition with no snow.
