Hiking – Vance's Cabin

This hike is limited to participants in the RMOTHG Turquoise Lake Camping trip. This will be an easy hike, not exceeding ~6 miles, 1000' in elevation gain. The pace is casual plus, meaning that, while we won't be looking to set any speed records, we will try to maintain a steady pace with minimal breaks, all at high elevation (~10500-11300'). This trip is exploratory for the leader.
