Early start because its a GRAD HIKE, Yeah!  Bring bug net/protection as  needed. Caution for smoke/heat/blowdowns, will adjust as necessary for your safety.  Will venture up the saddle or go around Surprise Mt to Deception Lakes.  Many water sources and I'll bring a filter.

Hello Hiker email sent five days before hike.

Follow COVID-19 and LNT Principles.  Prepare to carpool with mask, if needed.  As mentioned at orientation - please don't plan anything else this day.
