There will be no dropouts on this hike. If you can not hike this distance at this speed, please do not sign up for this hike.

This hike is for strong hikers who have demonstrated on previous TOC hikes their ability to go the distance at the pace indicated.
If you don't have such prior TOC experience, I have to insist that you first do some challenging D4 hikes.

The map above shows our approximate route and distance.
We will stop for a lunch break along the trail

MAX hikers: about 12 (+ or -)
I set the Maximum Group Size to 4, because I can take 3 passengers, but this event can accommodate about 12 hikers.
Passengers will be added as additional drivers become available.

Members on the waiting list who are willing to drive will get first priority.
Alternatively, you can drive and meet us at the hike starting location.

DRIVERS, WHEN YOU SIGN UP, PLEASE ANSWER THE CARPOOL QUESTION REGARDING THE # OF PASSENGERS YOU CAN TAKE IN YOUR CAR!!!
