Exertion: The walk to Freestone Point is easy; for those that want to go to Cockpit Point, the walk is STRENUOUS with a very steep, slippery trail.  Chief Tour Guild Rob Orrison stresses that only the well mobile members should make the walk to Cockpit Point.

Inclement Weather: We will send out a weather cancellation notice via e-mail the morning of the tour.  If you do not have e-mail please call Rob Orrison for an update.

Special Suggestions: Dress according to the weather and be sure to wear a hat and comfortable walking shoes.
