Special Instructions:
The hike begins at the Hieroglyphics trailhead and ends where the trail from Carney Springs meets the road in to the Peralta trailhead. This hike will be quite strenuous with the elevation gain, so may be too difficult for some. If the weather is warm, be sure to carry extra water. A shuttle will be required to be set up prior to the start of the hike.
