Come join me on Tuesday, March 23 for an intermediate evening hike!
We will hike to the crest of the ridge to get a good workout and also some beautiful views. Beginners may have a difficult time due to the steepness, so do not say I did not warn you if you choose to attend! We will only stop briefly to catch our breath and then take a short break at the turnaround point.
You can hike at your own pace just do not expect us to wait for you or to catch up to you if you are faster. There are some turn offs that I would advise turning around at so you do not get lost (especially in the dark) if you are unfamiliar with the trail.
Distance: 5+ miles (depending on how far group decides to go)
Elevation Gain: 1300 ft gain
