We do it in the winter on Tuesday evening. I took over organizing the hike in November. We’ll run it until some time in April, and switch over to Colinas Bluff for our Tuesday evening hike in the summer.

2900 is supposed to be the actual vertical gain, not the top elevation, though it’s tough to say precisely. I used my Garmin eTrex to record the GPS data, uploaded to EveryTrail and pulled the total vertical gain from the “info” view: http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=1000128

Is this accurate? Not perfectly but probably close.

Is the elevation gain really 2900 feet, or is the top elevation 2900 feet? Your summary suggests 2,900 feet, but the elevation profile looks more like 1,200 ft. I ask because the one is within our range this spring, but the other probably is not–too much Holiday food and too little exercise!
