What the trip looks like

  1. Morning

    Meet at the trailhead

    Coffee, intros, a pronoun round, and a real briefing — not just a safety talk.

  2. Midday

    On the mountain

    We hike at the group's pace, with a sweep leader at the back. Snack stops are mandatory.

  3. Evening

    Wind-down

    Drinks and food at a local spot we love. Carpool home or stay on for dinner with new friends.

Fitness & experience

Recent hiking experience helps. Expect a long day with real elevation and some exposure.
