Itinerary: | |||||||
We are planning to hike at a moderately fast (3.0 - 3.5 mph) with only a few breaks and a short lunch period. This would be a great training hike for those wanting a good workout or who are training for longer treks or bigger peaks. If you sign up for this event, you will need to have some recent D4/D5 with similiar pace in hiking under your belt. I may contact you to make sure you have the fitness level to keep up with the group. Please understand that I will be doing this for everyone's benefit. Carpool departure will be promptly at 8 a.m. arriving at the trail head at 9 a.m. and starting immediately after breif introductions. Keeping a 3 mph hike, we should be finishing close to 3 p.m. and back to the Mansel Road carpool location close to 4 p.m. Those planning on meeting at the trailhead, please plan on being there at 8:45 as we will not have time to wait for people arriving after those that are meeting at the carpool. Please be respectful of everyone's time! | |||||||
