Hiking – Mt. Sherman

tk

****NO HARES PLEASE****

While this hike is a casual pace, I will require all participants to have hiked at a minimum to an altitude of 12,000 feet at least 1 1/2 weeks before this hike.

Should you need to cancel, please let me know as soon as possible.  I will have cell service at Four Mile Campground.

Let's meet at 6:30 am at the pull-out/parking area for the Limber Grove Trailhead on Four Mile Road (Park County Road 18).  This parking area is on the south/left side of the road just past Four Mile Campground.  High clearance/4WD vehicles are preferred as the road becomes rough the closer we get to the gate.  The road is passable for passenger cars to at least the parking area.  

Please bring your 10 essentials, including: 2-3 liters of water, warm layers, rain gear, hats and sunglasses.

If you wish to carpool, please let me know by Friday, August 7th.  I can carry 4 participants in my 4-WD vehicle. I will camp out at Four Mile Campground the night before the hike.  You're welcome to camp with me. However, you will need to bring your own camping gear, food, and water. I can be reached at: sheindk@yahoo.com, (h)719635-7720, (c)7195106699, should you have questions.
