Leader's notes

See this wta description of our out and back route:

https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/royal-basin

We will hike at a brisker 2.5-2.75 mph pace given the relatively less steep terrain, with 5 minute breaks more or less hourly for snacks/party separations/clothing adjustments. Please be comfortable with these parameter if you sign up.

A foot soak or swim is definitely on the itinerary once we reach upper Royal Lake. We will spend up to an hour having lunch and cooling off if conditions are nice.

we might plan on a post hike meal if people are interested.

More details and updates will be provided in the hello hiker email. Bugs may be an issue.
