Itinerary:

This is a D4 with a great view and a great climb. We will wander over to Pink Mt before tackling the Yonah summit climb. Our wander will also take us around the summit of Yonah to stretch as best we can to 8 miles and 2000 feet elevation gain.

To qualify, you will need to have completed a strong D3 in the past 2 weeks. We do not plan to be slowing for anyone so you'll need to be committed to a strong pace.

It's winter so expect ice if below freezing and muck if it is above freezing. Probably too cold for trail lunch so plan a stop on the way home.

Required Items to Bring:

plenty of water
food/snacks in case we are running late to finish before lunch
hiking boots or trail shoes
payment method for the carpool

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.

hiking poles

change of shoes (trail could be muddy)

Carpool Cost:

Estimated cost per vehicle for this event is $48.00 using a reimbursement rate guideline of $0.400 per mile. The total amount should be divided by the number of people in the vehicle, including the driver. This is a guideline, not a rule, for drivers but the cost should not be higher unless there are extenuating circumstances.

Notes:

- The last half mile of the drive to the trailhead is on a well maintained gravel road.

* We encourage all members to follow our Etiquette Guidelines while participating in AOC events.

Cancellation/Partial Attendance: Please review the AOC cancellation policy.
