This will be a challenging hike, which is mostly from the steep climb of Day 1 - 2,400 ft over 3 mi. Water sources will be unreliable on parts of the hike, so we may need to pack extra water on Day 2, 3.
Trip Plan, may chg based on conditions:
Day 1: Rolling Creek TH → Wigwam Park (~8 miles, ~2,400 ft gain) - camp in the area of Wigwam Park
Day 2: Wigwam Park → Lost Park area (~9 miles, ~1,200 ft gain, easier). Camp is Lost Creek area. Due to cattle being in the area we may need to pack water through
Day 3: Lost Park → Rolling Creek TH via Colorado Trail (~7.5 miles, ~750 ft gain, then descent). Water sources noted as reliable, we'll try to confirm as we get closer to the hike

Meet at Wooly Mammoth at 5;30 AM to carpool out. We will probably need a second car / driver. Drive to trailhead near Bailey with the goal of hitting the trail at ~ 7:00 AM.
More details to follow as we get closer.
