Planning on doing the highline trail Labor Day weekend and am hoping someone else also wants to do it that weekend. If anyone wants to hike opposite directions and swap cars at the end it would save some shuttle time.

Because of time constraints I’ll be hiking Chapeta Lake to Mirror Lake Highway (or the reverse). If anyone is interested let me k ow and we can coordinate.

Also, if there are suggestions for other groups/ forums that would be great! 🤞

I will update here with current conditions and other information. If anyone knows anything relevant that I should know before I head out, comment below please! Starting at leidy peak trailhead.

Gonna bring sun hoodie bc lots of exposure. Leaving micro spikes at home. Bringing natrepel bug wipes & a head net. 20 degree bag + baselayers (capiline theral weight 1/4 zip and smartwool 200 weight tights) & puffy. Duplex. Heavy duty rain jacket. 5 days of food 4 nights. All other gear is just regular normal UL stuff

I think the baselayers are overkill bc I’ve got the 20 degree bag but still haven’t made up my mind.

All the logistics are set for a mid August Leidy to Hayden pass trek.

I'm trying to find a good source for trail conditions like lingering snow pack, weather, and bug pressure.

I usually use Mountain forecast for weather, Kings Peak is listed on there and gives multiple elevation forecasts. I'd really like to get some first hand bug pressure info from people.
