Hiking in the mountains, like any activity, has inherent risks.  You could get killed.  So it's up to you to know yourself; to know how far you can walk in a day and how much you can carry; to know how much elevation gain you can hack; to know if you can properly read a GPS or compass or map; to know when you should turn back.

The information on this website is offered in good faith and we walk these trails to keep it accurate.  But not all the factors lie here.  You are the one who decides to go or not, and where and when.  It's your trip.  Assess your risk.  If you have a bad time, if you get lost or get hurt or don't come back, it's not our responsibility.
