Past the graves the trail becomes steeper, climbing 1,200 feet in under 2 miles. You can choose your group upon reaching the graves.
There will be a post-hike get together at an East Vail location for all who are interested.
There should be no problem parking at the trailhead for the 8:00 AM start.
Gore Lake is gorgeous, and there are often mountain goats around the shoreline.
