See trip sheet (posted +/- one week before the hike) for all the specifics, but in the meantime, here's the gist:
We'll be hiking approximately 5.5 miles, 1300' elevation gain. As this is a conditioning hike, we'll maintain a steady MAC pace (average 2.5mph) and will aim for a brief stop or two along the trail for layer adjustment/water/party separation breaks. We will also take a short break at Wallace Falls for lunch/snacks.
Trailhead meeting time: 8:30am. **Note: this trailhead is approximately one hour from the Mountaineers Program Center.
Trailhead info: meet at the Wallace Falls Trailhead, off of Highway 2.
