I think the best way to approach the trail is to start before sunrise so we avoid the heat and have time to enjoy the overlook. The path is roughly six miles round trip with some moderate elevation gain near the middle section. We should plan for about four hours total including breaks. The surface is mostly packed dirt with some rocky sections so sturdy shoes would be a good idea. I usually bring a light jacket because it can be breezy at the summit even when it is warm at the base. There is a stream crossing about a mile in that is usually easy to step across unless there has been recent rain. We can park at the lot near the ranger station and there is no fee for entry this time of year. I will pack sandwiches and plenty of water. Let me know if you want to meet at the trailhead or carpool from my place.

About the gathering next month, I think Saturday the fifteenth works well for most people. We could start around six in the evening and keep it casual. I was thinking we could each bring a side or dessert and I will handle the main dish. The backyard should be nice that time of year and we can set up some chairs on the patio. If the weather does not cooperate we have enough room indoors for everyone. I will send out a quick note to the group to confirm headcount by the end of this week. Let me know if you think we should plan for any specific dietary preferences that I might have missed. I want to make sure everyone feels comfortable and has plenty to enjoy. The kids are welcome too and we can set up a small table for them in the den.
