I was a participant in a hike led by UT on the first 15 km of this route 2 winters ago, trudging through snow and ice, and recall that it was an enjoyable hike.
I haven't been back since, so let's go.
Of course 15 km just isn't far enough for a hike so I have added another 10 km which I will hike for the first time on this event. We probably won't get lost, how difficult could it be?

MAX hikers: about 12 (+ or -)
I set the Maximum Group Size to 4, because I can take 3 passengers, but this event can accommodate about 12 hikers.
Passengers will be added as additional drivers become available.

Members on the waiting list who are willing to be carpool drivers may get priority.
Alternatively, you can drive and meet us at the hike starting location.

DRIVERS, WHEN YOU SIGN UP, PLEASE ANSWER THE CARPOOL QUESTION REGARDING THE # OF PASSENGERS YOU CAN TAKE IN YOUR CAR!!!
