Itinerary:

This hike is designed for those new to AOC or new to hiking.  Leita Thompson is a beautiful park with just 170 feet of elevation.  The trails are made of soft, small gravel and plenty wide to walk side by side with very little roots and rocks. 

Plan is to walk 1 lap around the park at a slower speed but just enough to get a good workout. Depending on interest of the group, we can hike a 2nd lap.         

More info about the park:

There are no bathrooms, but there are three sets of porta potties throughout the park.

NOTE;  We are starting the hike from the overflow parking lot.  See below for directions to this parking lot.
