Itinerary:

Lets see if we can squeeze in a hike during the raindrops.   

Leita Thompson is a beautiful park with just 170 feet of elevation.  The trails are made of soft, small gravel and plenty wide to walk side by side with very little roots and rocks. 

----Plan is to hike 2 laps but we will be passing through the parking lot after lap 1 so you can drop off if you need to.  The pace is on the faster side of D2.  Not a stroll but fast enough for a good workout.

There are no bathrooms, but there are three sets of porta potties throughout the park.
