We will hike at a steady pace with breaks kept to a minimum. We'll take a quick detour up to an overlook before dropping off the ridge into Limbaugh.

Possible lunch at O'Malley's pub afterwards if people are interested.

The trip will depart from the Palmer Lake Reservoir Trailhead at 09:00, so arrive a few minutes before. Leader lives close to TH but can help others with setting up carpools. There is a $5 per car fee for parking.
