+++Drivers are needed+++:

We will hike the Galatea Lakes trail almost to the upper lake, then turn north/east onto a re-routed new trail up to Guinn's Pass. It does a sweeping traverse across a hillside providing many views

From Guinn we will ascend the southwest outlier of Mount Kidd. Guaranteed beautiful views below(if weather cooperates).

PACE:We will be going at a relaxed pace-slow pace when going up on steep terrain and moderate pace when flat terrain. **IF** you want to go **FAST** pls sign up for another hike.

++We are out to enjoy the day, so probably better to select other hike if you have plans after the hike-we will not be rushing back.++
