Alberta Peak called 17 hikers plus several dozen Christian Youth Campers. The trail is cleared, beautiful, and awe-inspiring. No water fell on us, but distant thunder got us into the timber. This hike open vistas of huge scale and beautiful topography. The flowers of blue, white, yellow, pink and deep purple add depth and detail to the views.
Next Tues., we'll get back into alpine flowers on Del Norte Peak, weather permitting. (We'll have an alternative ready.) The group recommended an 8 a.m. start! This will give us time to get off the peak before afternoon storms.
Therefore MEET AT 7:55 AM AT THE SF INTERPRETIVE CENTER.
The temperature will be lower than normal. This is big rock country. Please wear broken-in boots--we aren't eager to carry out anyone. If you can't handle 12,000'+ steep uphill striding, you can stay in the saddle or roam around the trails down at 11,000'. We ask for self-discipline and self-control if you haven't pushed yourself hard at high altitude for at least 4 days before this hike.
Bring rain protection, plenty of water and lunch, but no pets, please.
