Itinerary: | |||||||
Ready for a challenging hike at Sweetwater Creek State Park? We'll start promptly at 8 AM with the White and Red trails. Plus we'll mix in a few un-blazed trails that include steep ascents. After the first 6 miles or so, we'll take a nice 30 minute break on the rocks at the creek (feel free to bring along your water shoes) and then it is off to the Yellow and Orange trails with four bonus side treks to see all this beautiful park has to offer! We'll be maintaining a good moderate pace including some steep uphills. If you are looking for a liesurely paced hike then this is not for you. This is NOT a hike for beginners. We should gain around 2,000' in elevation over the course of the day. **You will not get credit for this hike if you do not complete the hike.** Note: there is a $5 per vehicle parking fee. No carpool for this event. Website for Park: | |||||||
