This is the standard Summer Route but may change depending on conditions.  We also may decide to take an alternative route which is ~2 miles longer and +500'  

This should not be your first snowshoe at this distance and gain, you should also be comfortable with off-trail travel, steeper grades, hiking/snowshoeing through downfall, rocky terrain, trail breaking and route finding.
