Itinerary:

Join us for an after work hike at Vickery Creek on Friday the 13th - if you dare. The days are staying light a little longer, so let's do it! We will meet at the Mill parking lot to start our 5.5 mile hike. We will be going at a fast pace in order to keep our heart rate up, and we won't we taking many breaks, so this is not a beginner's hike.

We will also do the cliffs!

Please bring a headlamp or small flashlight as it will be getting dark as we finish. 

We'll start promptly at 4:30 pm, so please arrive a few minutes early for check in. If you need to cancel, you have until 3:30 pm the day of the hike to remove yourself from the list after that, please call or text me. Also - please let me know if you are running late. We won't be able to wait, but you are welcome to catch up with us!

Parking is free at the Mill parking lot. (Unless you get a parking ticket - then it's $50.)
