Along the way we will pass a few ponds, a pine plantation,and travel through mature hardwood bush.
This group is targeted for experience hikers only. This is an intense hike that will challenge you and try and break you.As a group we provide support to push on and achieve. There is an expectation that you will not need instruction and you should be able to hike non-stop for at least 60 minutes regardless of terrain.
