This will be a long day and we will need to be in the park early to beat the reservations. Plan on leaving Glacier Gorge TH at 445AM. More details around carpools and meetups will be sent out via email. 

Please reach out to get signed up. Let me know what peaks you have climbed this year and your confidence in doing a lot of miles off trail at a decent pace. 

This is a fantastic adventure and worthy of all the effort. I did this back in 2020 so it's been a while but I do have my GPS track and I wrote up a report here:

Route finding is a little tricky so expect some bushwacking and getting lost here or there. It's mostly class 3-4 from what I recall but there are more difficult spots if you get off track.

Try your best to pack light for more fast/efficient travel. Helmets are a must. It can also get nasty in a hurry up in RMNP so a rain jacket is wise.
