If you stay at the ranc, dayhike Circlestone and then back to Rogers Trough, expect to put in 20 miles. More if you explore around the reanch, plus some if you gather firewood. This is a great trip, I wish I could do it again this soon.

Thanks !
The plan is to drop our backpacks on the way in on the Fireline & take the side trip to Circlestone THEN.
Afterwards gather our packs & head down to Reavis for camp, and then out the Reavis Gap trail on Sunday.
