Some of the features of the hike will include descending the Devil's Pulpit and checking out the beautiful Cheltenham Badlands.

At the conclusion of the hike, we'll stop at the Spirit Tree for a sip of award-winning-cider or a taste of fresh pastries.

If you cannot walk the entire distance, please do not sign up for this hike.
