We'll be heading upto Mt. Cannon, one of the 48 4000-footers, and enjoy the grand 360 degree views. There's an observation deck and a cafe on the summit. We'll be doing a loop (approx. 5.9 mi in distance and 2300 ft in elevation gain). There's a fun ladder on the way up and some scrambling to spice up the trip. We'll be stopping by Lonesome Lake on the way down.
We'll be stopping for light breakfast on the way to the trailhead. There will be a mandatory pre-trip zoom meeting on Thursday (08/27) at 7 PM.
