Itinerary:

Get the year off right by doing the Len Foote Hike Loop -- and since it's a new year, we'll do it in a new direction.
We'll start things off at the Top o' the Falls and hike to Len Foote Hike Inn via the Len Foote Hike Inn Trail Once, there we'll take in the views and have some lunch.

For the trip back, we'll head to the AT Approach trail and use it to return to the Falls, for a nice D4 hike.

You will need recent D4 experinece to join, and the plan is to be moving briskly (2.7-2.9 mph), so please bear that in mind before signing up.

Required Items to Bring:

Hiking Boots
Clothing appropriate for weather conditions (raincoat - just in case)
Snacks or lunch
Adequate water (1.5 - 2 L)

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