We will push ourselves but expect some amazing hospitality from our friends at Sawtooth Wilderness Outfitters (who doesn't like steak and red wine at 10,000 feet?:). Our goal is to pack in, but our guides will be there with horses to carry your gear for an additional cost if you need this option. Our hike will be approx 13 miles over two days. We plan to sleep under the stars of in tents at the top. 

• Day 1: arrive at the lodge, and sleep in the meadow.
• Day 2: hike, camp/sleep on trail.
• Day 3: arrive at the top. camp. chill. grow.
• Day 4: hang. train. live.
• Day 5: hike back (1 day).
