For those folks are interested in hiking just the upper part of the loop (6.5 miles, 1650 ft gain), let me know and we will arrange a car shuttle to the eastern trailhead.

Meet at the western Crag Crest trailhead on Colorado 65 at 8:30am.

I'll meet someone in the "upper trail only" group a bit before 8.00am to shuttle a car - contact me if you would volunteer to be that early bird!

(We'll communicate about possible carpools the week before.)
