Itinerary:

You could sleep in on this Sunday morning of a holiday weekend or come out and enjoy an early morning fast paced hike at East Palisades.  You get to enjoy the sounds of the birds waking up, the sun rising and a nice workout.  This hike is fast paced and includes going up some big hills, therefore not recommended for beginning hikers.  We will cover approximately 4 miles in an hour.

The hike will start on time at 6:30 am.  It will be dark in the beginning and you will need a flash light for the first 30 minutes or so of the hike.
