Meeting place

We will meet at the "storm shelter"(a small covered bus stop-like area) at the north end of the Red Parking lot.  This location is next to the Amphitheater and in front of the covered horse practice facility so it should be easy for everyone to locate. 

Plan to meet a few minutes early for our socially distanced circle of hikers for hiker introductions.  We wll depart on time and leave promptly.  

There is no restroom in the Red lot but there will be a restroom stop 0.5 miles into the hike, a portolet 2/3 through the hike and restrooms near the end of the hike.


Required Items to Bring:

PLENTY OF WATER TO STAY HYDRATED!!!!  

comfortable clothes and shoes, and a smile  : )

 Pavement:  I suggest wearing cushioned sidewalk running shoes over wearing trail shoes if you have them.

Masks are not required (except in opening circle discussion and restrooms) but we will strive for social distancing 

 

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

stylish straw hat, gym shorts, knee socks
