Itinerary:

A relatively easy hike on a wide open mountain ridge. Mt. Ware stands above all the foothills in the area so the views are great in all directions.

We will approach Mt. Ware from Gorge Creek. This is an easy hike. We usually move at a comfortable speed to allow for photographs and for people to socialize.

***We will stop and have a moment of silence at 11am - in honor of all our veterans.***

Distance: 17.4 kms return
Elevation gain: 533m

Though I've been on Ware before, I have a terrible sense of direction, and easily get lost. Please do your own research and be prepared!
