Itinerary: | |||||||
The Buzzards Roost Trail System at Rocky Face Ridge Park is a magnificent 11 mile loop 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! Either meet at the parking lot of Rocky Face Ridge Park *OR* at the carpool location. Both locations will leave on time, so please arrive 10 minutes early for introductions and socializing. 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 down slowly in a more gradual descent. We will begin our hike at 11:00 promptly and will stop at the top for a snack/lunch 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. | |||||||
