Distance: 6-9 miles, depending on the weather and the how much distance the group wants to do. We will definitely go through the Larch (the larches should have their fall color) and Fir Trail loops with an option midway through to complete the Pine loop. Plan on spending 6-7 hours including drive time to/from the trailhead.
Elevation gain/loss: negligible
What to bring: Ten essentials, water, snack/lunch, and proper footwear (no tennis shoes or sandals). Dogs are not allowed on this hike.
Difficulty level: moderate.
Number of hikers: Sign up is not required for this hike.
Carpooling: Carpooling can be arranged at the meeting place. If you ride with someone, please donate to their gas fund. Be generous for obvious reasons.
