Itinerary:

Join me for an exercise hike in Jones Bridge Park.  We will move at a moderately fast pace over 3 ml/hr to cover at least 7 miles with a couple of stops.

We will start our hike promptly at 9.00 am with the "Grand Finale" loop, and come back to the parking lot about 10 minuts later.  If you are running late, this is your chance to catch the group.  We walk along the river towards the pond to Rivermont Park and come back through the woods.  Our first water break is on the top of the big hill.  

We'll meet at the big parking lot which is at the end of the road.  Please give yourself enouth time for car parking - sometimes it can be pretty full. 

This hike is rated as a moderate on a fast end. For the safety of the group if I have not hiked with you, I might contact you to make sure that this hike is appropriate for you.

***Don't leave any valuables in your vehicles for there have been cases of vandalism.

I like to walk with a small group.  My ideal amout of people is 8.  The maximum amount of people is 12.

$3 parking fee or annual parking pass
