Itinerary: | |||||||
Are you ready for an invigorating hike at Sweetwater Creek State Park? We’ll hike around 5 miles and the trails will vary from the Yellow and (the newly blazed) Orange or perhaps the Red and White. We’ll be hiking at a sustained moderate pace (around 21 minutes per miles average) so this is a great way to wind down your evening. Much of the hikes will either be under tree cover or next to the creek so there is not a lot of exposed trekking. Depending on our group, we can also opt for some tougher side trails that have steep elevation gain over a short distance. Either way, these are fun hikes on some really beautiful trails! *Please plan or arriving early enough to secure a park pass if you need one - we plan on hitting the trails promptly at 5:30 PM. *We may briefly pause for 1 or 2 quick photos – but this is not really a photo op hike. *This hike is not recommended for true beginners as it has some rock scrambling and a sustained moderate pace.
