Itinerary: | |||||||
This will be a 6.1 mile hike at a fast pace. We will do the outer loop trails as well as a few of the inner trails in order to get in our total mileage. Most of the hike is along the water's edge and really beautiful. There's one section were we have to climb down a few rocks and then scramble up a short, very steep section. Additionally, we'll do a few long hills to really get our hearts pumping! Because of the speed and the terrain, I have had hikers who could not finish this hike with me. If you don't have experience doing fast hikes, this may not be the hike for you. If you are new to the club, I will review your experience and may call you to discuss whether or not I feel this hike is appropriate for you. Please arrive 10 minutes early for introductions. Also, you have until 4:30 on the day of the hike to remove yourself if something comes up. Also - bring a headlamp or small flashlight to use for the last 15 minutes or so as it is getting darker. Just a reminder - there are no restrooms here! This hike is not for beginners - it is very fast with some challenging hills and lots of rocks and roots the along most of the trails. | |||||||
