I haven’t been to the park in a few years so it’ll be nice to check out different areas of the park over the next 3 trips. All trips are during new moon-first quarter phases so hopefully we get some nice starry nights.

DISCLAIMER: Hike at your own risk. Be responsible for yourself and your safety. Make good decisions. With any trip, things can change, reservations can get lost, the unexpected can happen. A go-with-the-flow attitude is always a good thing, and most importantly, let's all have fun! This is an intermediate hike. Make sure you are in good enough physical shape for the distance, elevation changes, and terrain. The hike leaders in this group aren't professional hike leaders.
