Field trip: Conditioning Hiking Series
CHS 2 Hike - Norse Peak
Rainier Campout Weekend - Norse Peak. The snow may have foiled our original plans yet again, but it WILL NOT BREAK OUR SPIRITS! It sounds like this will be a day full of peaks and wildflowers. Oh and this is a CHS hike led at a CHS 2 pace (2.0-3.0 mph).
