Itinerary:
Let's welcome the year with a moderately brisk hike at Jones Bridge Park. There is only 20% chance of rain, but it will be windy, with temperatures in the lower 50s.

This trail rolls along the river for about two miles, then enters the woods, where we can choose between a number of intersecting trails. In general, the trails are flat with some relatively easy uphill climbs, nothing with over a 150 foot elevation gain. We will hike at a moderate to brisk pace. 

We'll meet in the parking lot at the very end of the entrance road.  Restrooms are available here.  


Dogs are welcome, but in accordance with park rules, they must be on a leash.
