Details

Come join this "after school (work) special" hike that's moderate on mileage but boasts killer alpine views throughout the hikes including hiking to a 14er summit and mulltiple nearby 14er summits.



The basic timeline of the hike is:

-depart Wooly Mammoth lot at 3:45 pm

-arrive Summit Lake approximately 4:55 pm

-estimated hiking time of 2-2.5 hours

-depending on numbers/arrangement, retrive cars from Summit Lake

-sunset is at 8:12 pm; major hiking will be done by then but bring a headlight in case this runs late

-return to Wooly Mammoth lot by 9:30 pm (estimated)



 



A major variable is thunderstorm activity; if substantial chance of thunderstorm activity can do another similar distance hike (TBA) at lower altitutes or cancel hike.




Notes

Area now requires vehicle permits; these will be arranged at least the day before depending on who's signed up for the hike early.
