Meet at 6:30. We will start hiking promptly at 6:40.
This is an “out-and-back” casual hike, with an evenly distributed elevation gain of about 700’ which is great for beginners. The entire hike is on a fire road through a canyon and you will find no difficult or extended elevation climbs.
From the trail head, we’ll walk down a short distance on an asphalt path which turns into a gravel/dirt fire road. We’ll hike about 2.5-3 miles in and stop for a break before heading back. We’ll make a couple of stops to see the bee sanctuary.
