We will plan on meeting at the trailhead at 5:30pm in order to be ready to start our hike at 5:45pm. On this evening the sun is setting at 7:55pm. This should give everyone enough time to make it to the summit in time to position themselves for the ideal summit sunset photo. If all goes well, we should also have the opportunity to see the full moon rise.
This is a backup to the sunset conditioner scheduled on March 14th. Feel free to join both conditioners to double your chances of seeing a beautiful sunset/moonrise.
As mentioned above, we will plan on maintaining the traditional 2 hour pace from trailhead to summit. If you have a properly weighted pack, we can check off your conditioning requirement for the Basic Alpine Course.
