May Training - Hike

Hike: 7 to 10 miles (Yellow Trail) until we hit snow

Duration: Leave Saturday Morning around 6am Return Sunday Night

Purpose: The purpose of this hike is to climb about 4,000ft with a full pack to gage our physical conditioning. If we decide to hike into Low Divide (Center of the Olympic National Park) from the east side through Hayden Pass we will need to be ready for an aggressive vertical climb.
