Happy Hikers’ Hike to Hightop

OVERVIEW

Hey Hikers!

As you’ve probably already heard from the emails that were sent out earlier today, Sunday is going to be hella warm! In celebration of this occasion, I will be leading a Hightop hike!

Our parking destination is about 45 minutes away and the hike is 5.6 miles. From what I’ve heard, the hike should not take us longer than three hours. We will be going at a moderate pace… I’m going skiing on Saturday, so I will be sore and slow.

the plan:
-meet at Echols at 10 am
-get to Hightop before 11 am
-hike to the top, eat lunch, hike back down
-suave out around 2 pm (the latest)
-arrive back home at 3 pm (the latest)

DRIVERS AND PASS HOLDERS get priority. I will only reimburse (+ 50% tip) drivers if they arrive with a full tank of gas.

what to bring:
-snacks/lunch
-sturdy shoes
-water
-layers appropriate for the weather
-flashlight
