Note the length of this hike before signing up. Also, due to time commitment/probably 8 hrs) and car shuttle details, please only sign up if you are serious about going.
One-way long winter hike with weather dependent views. We will try to keep moving to stay warm with a mini-lunch break in the middle. Be prepared to snack and walk. Feed bag anyone?
If the weather is absolutely treacherous, this hike will turn into an up to 8 mile hike from same TH to Grand Prospect overlook, so that we would have opportunity to turn around if it's too miserable. Otherwise, be prepared to test your rain gear and have a great type II kind of fun with mountaineer friends!
