We will hike to at least the Upper Rattlesnake Ledge and depending in the weather and trail conditions maybe a little further. The goal will be to get in at least 6 miles, but possibly as many as 8. Please remember to bring your ten essentials and multiple layers as weather can change quickly this time of year. I will be asking all participants to carry micro-spikes with them.
NO PASS IS REQUIRED...Yay!
We will meet at the Rattlesnake Lake parking lot off of Cedar Falls Road SE at 8:45am and plan to be on the trail no later than 9:00am. NO PASS IS REQUIRED.
Required Equipment
Ten Essentials PLUS microspikes
