day hike: sunset peak (from brighton) - October 9, 2016

Join Dave for a pleasant fall hike up Sunset Peak. We'll hike the Brighton Lakes trail past Lakes Mary, Martha and Catherine and continue to Catherine Pass. from there, we'll continue up the "ridge" trail to Sunset. Fall colors should add to the scenic vistas of both upper Big and Little Cottonwood. Just got back from checking out snow levels at Brighton. I think we'll be able to do Sunset, but we'll definitely be hiking on snow. I'd suggest boots/gaitors, trekking poles, and gloves/mittens. If you have microspikes or Yaktrax, you may want to bring them. Call or email if you have any questions--Dave
