Itinerary:

The days are getting shorter but we're still sticking to the 6:00 start time. This means we'll have to put a little bit of scoot in our boot to finish before dark. Sunset is 7:32 so we'll finish the last of this at dusk. We'll take breaks for water and viewing the scenery - - and perhaps a photo or two but we will move along at a faster pace than our usual D3 hikes. Not zoom zoom but not too far from it. This is not a beginner hike and not a hike for someone who can't handle a kicked up D3.

 

There's a $3 parking fee at this location.  Be sure to have correct amount in cash to purchase a parking tag.  (Failure to do so is a $75 fine!)

Please arrive a few minutes before the hike is scheduled to start to check in. We will leave on time!
