Itinerary:

This hike is for medium to advanced hikers who like to have a steady pace. The hike is beautiful, not too technically challenging, but I will try to keep it moving pace. There will be a few places to stop for a break and snack.

No steep climbs but quite a bit of walking up and down hills. Nice lookouts. There are some areas of rough footing and slippery rocks - mandatory hiking shoes/boots.

This hike will be at a pace of 3.5 - 4.0/hr. All participants must be able to hike continuously at this pace to come on this event.

This hike will be coordinated and lead by Dave Radford.
