Itinerary:

We will meet at the beginning of the walk-up trail, climb the world's largest exposed granite outcrop and get back down.

Then we will stride around the mountain, and around the lake, adding 1 mile just for the fun of it by hiking the King's trail on Indian Island (I'm adding this mile so we have more fun by walking on the covered bridge).

We will stay together, except for the first mile when we walk up the mountain, you can go your own pace and we will gather on top of the rock.

Keep in mind that it's always windy on top of the mountain.

If there was rain in the few hours before the event, I will cancel the walk up trail, change the hike to 6 miles only around the mountain on Cherokee and King trails (D2).

If you don't have a park pass you will need to pay $20 for a day pass or a $40 for an annual pass.

Please arrive 10 minutes early for introductions so we can start on time.
