We'll start hiking at 9:15 and meet at the Barr Tail lot. Options for carpooling or using the shuttle (to lower the cost of parking) will be sent out closer to the date.
Barr Trail is well-traveled, even in winter so expect snow packed and icy trails. Traction devices are a must on this one. The elevation gain on the first three miles is significant - this is a challenging hike. The 1/4 mile from Barr to the forest may not need to be broken so have your gaiters. We'll also go a bit farther into the woods to find some of the nearly century-old tags still hanging on the trees.
Required Equipment
Traction, gaiters, poles. Something warm to drink.
