This hike is designated as register with Leader to provide an option for those already registered or on the long standby list for Sunday's hike.
This hike is intended for those who are new to CMC, and those who are working on getting in shape for the summer. This will not be a fast hike. We will also discuss how to get in shape for climbing at high altitude later in the summer.
I will update the group with the weather forecast a few days before the hike.
The route is as follows: Evergreen Mountain East Trail to Summit Trail. For return, follow Summit Trail to Evergreen Mountain West Trail. If the Iris Loop is open, we will take that, and then follow Ranch View Trail to Evergreen Mountain East Trail back to the parking lot.
We will meet at the Alderfer Three Sisters East TH for a prompt 8:30 start. Note that the Alderfer Three Sisters West TH is closed.
