Itinerary:

Our moving pace overall will be between 2.0 and 2.5mph.  

We start the hike at the top of the falls on the AT Approach trail for about 4.5 miles at which point we hang a right on the Hike Inn Connector trail. After a mile on the HI connector trail, we arrive at the Inn. 

Please arrive a few minutes early as the hike will start promptly at 10:00AM.  Bring your lunch (eating at the Hike Inn, though we might not get there until 1pm) and a few dollars if you want to make a donation for some snack food at the Hike Inn.

This is a moderate to difficult loop hike with 2300 feet of elevation in 10.5 miles. I'll take a moderate pace, slower on the ups and faster on the downs. I'll also stop at various points along the trail, especially intersections to regroup. 

If you do not have recent D4 experience, expect an email or phone call to determine your ability to complete the hike.
