Itinerary:
We'll meet at 1:30 and depart promptly at 1:40.

This is a moderate pace hike with little elevation change. Your only concern may be the distance 9 -10  miles. Due to many trail intersections, we won't spread out too much.  When we arrive to Sope Creek Ruins, we'll break for a short snack. This will be a little about 2/3 way thru hike.
