Itinerary:

Time to get back to my Wednesday Gold Branch hike! We'll do the usual route - lots of ups and downs to give our legs and hearts a great work out, with only a couple of quick stops. Most of the hike is along the water's edge and really beautiful. We do the outer loop trails as well as a few of the inner trails in order to get in our total mileage of 6 miles. 

The pace will be fast, so this is not a hike for beginners. (However, this is not a fitness hike.)

Please arrive 10 minutes early for introductions. Also, you have until 3:00 pm on the day of the hike to remove yourself if something comes up. After that time, please text me or call to cancel.

Please bring a headlamp or small flashlight as it will be getting dark towards the end of our hike.

Just a reminder - there are no restrooms here! And don't forget your parking pass or $3 for parking.

Dogs are not allowed on this hike.
