Anyone want to join in on a moderate/difficult day hike Saturday to Trampas Lakes?

 

The hike is described here:   http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/carson/recreation/ohv/recarea/?recid=44286&actid=50

 We will meet at the totavi gas station on 502 at 7 AM and carpool with whoever ends up going.  Totavi is the gas station at the bottom of the hill on State Route 502, east of Los Alamos.

Looks like ~ 1:15 drive to the trailhead from there:

Bring standard summertime gear- hiking clothes, water, lunch, rain gear.  

With a ~11 mile out and back w/ ~2.5k ft gain, I would guess about 5 hours max plus any sight seeing we want to do. If people are interested and the route is accessible/passable (12.5k ridge line), we would want to try for a loop linking to the San Leonardo Lakes.
