We'll be doing the big Hockley Valley loop twice (rather than an out-and-back) to achieve a distance of ~43k (note there is a recent reroute that may slightly change the distance).

Participants must be able to hike ~43k at a minimum pace of 5.5k/hr. This will be a long, hot day over hilly terrain!

We will leave water and supplies at the cars for the second loop.

Note one of the coordinator's dogs may be on this trip. Anyone wishing to bring their dog MUST speak to the coordinator first; any dog not cleared with the coordinator will not be allowed to come on the trip.
