Woolly Mammoth P&R 06:45, Section AA if car pooling; otherwise meet at the Dry Gulch Trailhead just off the Loveland Ski Area westbound exit.
This will be a moderate day of touring up and around lower Trelease. There is steeper terrain we will avoid and we will not be going to upper Trelease at this point in the season. A lot of the descent will be in the trees.
All participants are expected to have completed AIARE Level 1 or equivalent of ATA if we have sufficient numbers with AIARE. We'll be following the AIARE framework throughout the day. This is always a great tool to help mitigate the risk involved with traveling with a new group. Everyone will be expected to participate in discussions about terrain choice, hazard analysis, etc.
Required Equipment
