The objectives for the hike are:
- Have fun and enjoy each other's company.
- Make for the objective, conditions permitting.
- Return to the trailhead safe and sound with smiles all around.
On this trip we expect to move continuously as a group at a moderately steady pace with at least one 5 minute rest break every hour until we reach our objective. We will pause at the summit to have a 15-20 minute rest break for a snack, before returning to the trailhead.
We will meet here. The plan is to meet at the trailhead at 7:15 AM SHARP on Saturday the 7th for a quick hike meet-n-greet and be on the trail by 7:30 AM
