Cog- We will be taking the Cog up to the Mt View trailhead, which will negate the 6 miles of uphill on Barr Trail. Thank you Cog!
Arrive at Mt View Trailhead- We will disembark the cog, pack up backpacks, cache haulers, and make the 1.5-mile hike to around the intersection with Barr Trail with weight (this may need to be done twice, depending on how much can be moved in one trip. Expect between 45-60 pounds; there are no pace expectations.
Once all the gear has been moved to the Barr Trail intersection, there is no more heavy lifting left for the day. When all gear has been moved you are on your own to hike back down approx. 6 mi's to Barr TH. There are 2 options to get to your car, take the free shuttle or continue to hike about 1.5 mi's to the P/Lot.
