Sun, Dec 7 2025 - Gold Branch (View Original Event Details) Trip Leader(s): Amit M, Sue M. Participants: Jeff Gimpel, Lauri Fellman, Amit M, Sue M., VG, Ira L, Raheem Daya, Leslie M, Paul M, Yang, Bette, Keith K, LuAnn, Meredith M, Amanda W

It was cold (around 40F) when 15 of us started the hike at 9am. But everyone came prepared with gloves/hats/jackets and we walked about 4.25 miles in 1.75 hours. Somewhat slower than planned but the trails were tricky/slippery in places.

It was Meredith's 1st hike with AOC and Raheem's 3rd!

I would like to thank everyone who joined me on the hike. And to Sue for being the co-lead and to Kip Blevins for being my mentor during AOC trip leader training.
