Leader's notes

We will begin at the west trailhead in Alderfer/Three Sisters Park in Evergreen. We will take the Bluebird Meadow, Homestead and Mountain Muhly trails and then enter Elephant Butte park on the Elephant Butte trail.

We will stop at the top for a snack break and to take photos.

10 essentials, dress in layers appropriate for the weather. I will write you a day or two ahead of trip day with a weather report and reminders.
