ITINERARY:

Meet BE at the Lake City office at 4:00am! There, we will sip coffee, fill out some forms, and gather our gear and food! We have a 1.5 hour drive to the trailhead; though it will be dark, the views on the way back are to die for! Once at the trailhead, we’ll begin our journey upward, taking many breaks along the way. We’ll aim to be at the summit for lunch! At the summit, we’ll take a nice long break to soak up views and congratulate ourselves (we deserve it)! We’ll be leisure on the way down so we don’t rush our epic experience. We’ll take time to observe the wildlife, wildflowers, and smell the incredible fraser and balsam firs. Once down at the car, we’ll chill and eat a snack before driving one more hour down the mountain. Hey, congratulations! Climbing a mountain is HARD! We just hope you loved it as much as we did. Until next time!
