Expectations
We will attempt to go at a stable speed throughout the hike, and even if you do come well-prepared but are having a difficult time keeping up, no worries. We'll do our best to stay together, or, you will need to have the grace to turn back and wait for us at the parking area.

6) 2 - 3 liters of water to be kept inside of your backpack and somehow insulated
7) A lot of food, including sandwich, snacks, etc
