Grassi Lakes Moonlight Hike

Date/Time
Date(s) - Sat Jan 01 2022
4:30 pm

Notes:

Special Instructions:  This will be our fifth year celebrating a night-time ascent of Grassi Lakes; although we can’t end the evening with our usual chili party, we can usher it in with our moonlight hike and a toast, so let’s do it! We’ll plan on a toast in the parking lot afterwards with our hot drinks.  The maximum size of a group will be 10, and if there is a lot of interest in the hike, we shall offer 2 or 3 sections. Bring grippers, poles, a hot drink, and a headlamp.  Dress warmly.  Bring a mask and keep it handy.   This year the moon is forecast to be definitely minimal, with a tiny sliver waning moon setting at 3:25 PM. The sun will set at 4:45 PM, so let’s hope for starlight and make sure our headlamps have fresh batteries! This year, because of the sun and moonset times,  we can start earlier than usual, and be home in time for dinner. Therefore 4:30 PM is our meeting time and the Grassi Lakes parking lot is our meeting place. Regarding sign-up, if you wish to walk at a B to C pace, email Maryann directly (mayim@telus.net) and she will organize the group members between herself and Linda.  If you wish to walk at a C to D pace, email Mary directly (wahl.m@shaw.ca).  The earliest  sign-up for this hike is Wednesday, December 22, at 8:00 PM.
