For Liz and Helen Lake:

This has been a crazy year up and down the Cali mountains. Conditions constantly changing. Check the sources Jeff recommended, and don't be afraid to ask questions.

Hope you are able to do what sounds like an amazing hike!

Remember the most important part of hiking though…

It's not reaching the peak.

It's not getting back to your car.

It's not seeing x…y…z.

It is getting home to your bed.

To hike another day.

VERY experienced hike friends – including some former military – have all told me this.

I know you'll make the right decision. Can't wait to see whatever your 6 Pack may be's photos!
