It is an steep 2.4 miles to the top of Muir, with a bit of a scramble near the peak (takes about 1hr 40min). Then an easy walk to Inspiration. We head down Castle trail, which is steep, to Lower Sam Merrill trail. Off Sam Merrill, there is an easily overlooked trail, just after the power line towers, that brings you back to Rubio Canyon.

Departure time: 6:15am sharp.

Be sure to bring enough water, a hat, good hiking shoes, and a snack.

The pace will be fast (\~22 min/mile), and there will be at most a one-minute break at the top.

Everyone is welcome to hike at the pace that works for them, but if you are hiking slower than the group, no one will wait for you during or after the hike. There are many unmarked turns and trails, so get Alltrails, Gaia, or some other app that uses GPS (not cell reception) so you can always see where you are on the trail.
