Elevation gain is
1450', distance is 11.3 miles, no
mountains.
This event does not
have a lunch break, bring snacks.
We will start at Burnt
Hickory and go towards Noses
Creek, we will will completing a
number of loops all the way out
to Kolb Farm. On our return we
will take New Salem Church to the
road and reverse back to the main
trail and then a finish to the
cars.
This is an excellent hike
for strong D3's to get into a
beginner D4. This hike goes over
the distance and nears the
elevation gain (approved by
Director of Events - thanks
Aaron), making it an 'easy' (easy
ain't always easy) D4.
You
MUST have a some
strong recent
D3's to be qualified for this
event.
This is a moderate pace
hike, averaging around 2.5mph.
If you are unfamiliar
with hiking this distance - this
might not be for you.
Please arrive a
few minutes early for intro's.
No bathroom at this trailhead,
lotsa woods. Hike starts
promptly at 11AM.
