Itinerary:

The Buzzards Roost Trail System at Rocky Face Ridge Park is a magnificent 8-10 mile loop 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!

ON this hike, we will go up to the top and then turn around and come straight down, rather than going around the entire mountain.

The hike will be about 7 to 7.5 miles.

We will stop at the top for water and snacks, and to enjoy the view.

We will being out hike at 1 pm and should return buy 3:45 pm

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