HIKERS PLEASE NOTE: We will be taking the trail to Eagle Lake. This is a one-mile hike uphill. Although it is short, it is uphill and there are big granite steps at times. Hiking boots recommended and hiking poles are very helpful. A LIGHT BACKPACK IS A MUST. Bring plenty of water! Scale your art materials down to the lightest weight possible. If that means doing a pencil sketch or taking a small watercolor set, or a mini acrylic or oil set, please do so. Bring your camera for future photographic references for a studio painting.

- light weight painting gear - lighter than what you usually do
- small backpack
- camera
- drinking water - twice as much as you usually bring
- about $8 (?) for parking fee if you want to park inside the lot
- bug spray
- benedryl if you are allergic to bee stings
