Itinerary:

The Buzzards Roost Trail System at Rocky Face Ridge Park is a magnificent 8-10 mile loop (depending on our route) with exquisiite views. There is a gradual 3.5 mile climb to the top and once there, we will see Fort Mountain to the East and to the south, we will see both Dug Gap Mountain and Hurricane Mountain. To the West, there is Lookout Mountain so prepare yourselves for great wonder!

Our hike starts with leisurely walk through a long field to begin our ascent. Once at the top, we will stop for snacks and hydration and a short break, before winding our way back down and around.

We will begin our hike at 1pm promptly and will stop at the top for a short snack/waterbreak and rest for about twenty minutes. 

We plan to hike at a moderate pace somewhere between 2.5- 2.9mph.

Parking is free and there is plenty of space.

 

After Hike Dinner at Cafe Ostro is optional.
