Description: This is a 2-night backpacking trip. On August 21, 2021, we meet at the Wolverton trailhead at 7:00 a.m. Then, we start our hike to Alta Peak at 7:30 a.m.
3 miles from Panther Gap where camping is permitted, we set up our tents and then hike to Alta Peak. Then, we go back to our tents and sleep overnight. On the following day, we break camp and hike to Pear Lake for another overnight stay. Then, on August 23, 2021, we go back to the Wolverton trailhead and drive home.
To secure your spot, please send $20 via PayPal or Zelle. The total cost of the permit is only $70.00 for the whole group. But there will be no refund. Any remaining balance from the collected fees will be donated to the Yosemite Conservancy under VHC’s name.
RULES: 1. This hike is limited to 11 participants. 2. CDC guidelines will be observed. 3. Handshakes are discouraged. ******************************************************************* RSVP’s: If you RSVP for an event be responsible and update your RSVP if your plans change. If your plans change at the last second and you’re not able to update your RSVP also let us know. In my opinion a no-show is someone who has no regard for following the guidelines we request from our members and will risk being removed from future events that have a limit. DISCLAIMER / RELEASE OF LIABILITY: IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ BELOW IN ITS ENTIRETY I am a volunteer (i.e. not liable for the group). Safety is a priority for everyone in the group.
