Itinerary:

We will meet at the beginning of the walk-up trail, climb the world's largest exposed granite outcrop and get back down.

Then we will stride around the mountain and add 1 mile just for the fun of it by hiking the King's trail on Indian Island (I'm adding this mile so we have more fun by walking on the covered bridge).

We will stay together, except on the walk up, but I will be watching for everyone until we gather on top of the rock.

Keep in mind that it's always windy on top of the mountain.

If you don't have a park pass you will need to pay $20 for a day pass or a $40 for an annual pass.

Please arrive 10 minutes early for introductions so we can start on time.
