The leader's permission is required before signing up for this trip. Please email heisecolorado@gmail.com to get that permission.
You must have recent experience doing 3-4 day backpacking trips. You must know how to use your bear canister or Ursack correctly. We will not be doing a traditional bear hang. RMNP requires a hard-sided bear canister. They told me they will also accept an Ursack with the metal insert.
Our pace will be moderate with rest stops. We will follow Leave No Trace principles.
You must be a team player with a positive attitude. Let's have a safe, fun trip!
All participants will share in the cost of the backcountry permit (Total cost of $36).
