Memorial Day Breakfast and Hike, 16th Annual

This is our big kick off for the Summer Season!

Starting at 6 AM, regardless of the weather, we'll host our 16th annual breakfast and hike. Do both or come for just the breakfast or hike.

This is a super delicious breakfast in the mountains early in the morning and I only do this ONCE a year!
Invite friends and family.

RSVP required for Breakfast Buffet via text - Sheryl[masked]

Arrive early for parking since this is a holiday weekend and the canyons get crowded early!

TIMELINE:

6 AM: You are invited to help us set up, build campfire, meal prep, etc. - Early birds who help us also get to eat first AND get the best parking spots.
7 - 9 AM: Breakfast Buffet
8:15 AM: Hikers start gathering near our breakfast area. Bring everything you need for the hike since you walk to the trailhead from here.
8:30 AM: Start hiking or keep eating - you decide!
11:30 AM: Hikers are off the trail generally speaking before this time. You are always invited to do a much shorter hike if you like. There are 2 trails nearby to help us accommodate Easy and Moderate hiking abilities.

I'll split everyone into two groups at 8:15 AM and start hiking at 8:30 AM.

I stay behind and clean up so this is one hiking outing I won't be on. If you want to stay behind and help, thank you very much in advance.

To contact me:

Cell phone coverage can be spotty in the canyons.

Communicate before Memorial Day if you have any questions.

Carpools are encouraged. Don't wait until the day before to try and find a ride. I can help you if you give me some notice.
