This is a challenging hike that includes some off trail hiking,route finding, and mild scrambling. The leader has been there many times and is pretty sure he's never gone the exact same route twice. Pace will be steady with breaks kept to a minimum. Possible lunch stop afterwards.

We will meet at the Palmer Lake Reservoir Trailhead at 9:00AM.
