Troop,
For our August 18th-20th adventure we will be headed west out past Twin Lakes on CO 82 towards Independence Pass. We will be camping near the La Plata Peak Trailhead. The camp location is below tree line and along North Fork Lake Creek.
The plan is to camp Friday night through Sunday morning and on Saturday those who choose to can summit La Plata Peak.
La Plata Peak measurers 14,344 feet and the trail is only a little over 4.6 miles each way. The trail head starts off at about 10,000 feet so the accent is about 4,300feet and remember!!! Its all downhill on the way back. Ha Ha!
In order for this to happen I need at least one other adult to commit to the climb with me and also two adults that just wanna lounge around camp and hang with whomever chooses not to summit.
We will begin planning at next weeks meeting, so please signup below so we are prepared with numbers of who plans on attending. Also in the comments please state whether you plan to summit the mountain.

We will meet Friday afternoon at the Scout Barn at about 4:30 pm and pack up to be on the road at 5:00pm. We plan to return Sunday between 11:00am and noon.
