As this is offtrail and not a crowded route, I will reach out to you for fit as needed.  Although we are all working towards summer fitness so pace will be slower, each person needs to be proven capable.

If weather such as snow does not permit this hike, another hike will be substituted.  

Reach out to me with any questions.  I would love to have you.  

We will set the slowest pace to keep moving resulting in just short breaks.

Bring cash to pay driver.
If you want to meet at trailhead, let me know.

tbd based on weather, yet plan on 6:30 am meet time.  Meet at Woolly Mammoth PNR Section BB (39.697350, -105.207818)  across from Exxon Gas Station.
