Since there are far more experienced people on this forum than myself I was hoping to get your input on my group itinerary.
We have overnight permits for this thursday. Our group consist of 3 people in our early 30's in decent shape but very limited experience with hiking at altitude.
Our plan is to get to the area a day before our hike and camp at the portal (if we can secure a walk in spot) or horseshoe meadow as a plan B.
How long would it take roughly to get from the trailhead to trailcamp? We plan for a slow to moderate pace. How early should we start the hike and what time should we plan to be at trailcamp?
As far as going from trailcamp to summit. We plan to take day packs and start at 5am so that we can summit before 11am. Is this realistic?
Any advice or input is appreciated!
