Note: This is an "EXPLORATORY" trip. This means that there are parts of this trip, or perhaps the whole trip, that is new to your Trip Leader(s). However, they are confident that this will not be an issue.
This note is here so that you can make an informed decision. When a Trip Leader isn't personally familiar with a trip, there is an increased chance of things not going as planned and you need to be prepared. The Trip Leader may have additional details in the itinerary.

Itinerary:

Let's go explore West Palisades. I’ve been here a few times, but I've never led a hike starting from Akers Mill, so that's why this is marked as exploratory. The distance and time are estimates, so please be a little flexible.

The terrain at West Palisades is rooty and rocky and rugged, with some elevation changes, so be prepared for that. Our pace will be slightly faster than moderate.

There are no bathrooms at this entrance, so plan accordingly. Please arrive about 10 minutes early for socializing and introductions.

This area, like all CRNRA units, requires a $5 daily parking fee unless you have an annual pass.


Required Items to Bring:

Water

Good hiking shoes

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.

Hiking poles, if you like them


How to Get There:
Event Directions:

932 Akers Ridge Dr SE
