Itinerary:

 

Come join me for an afterwork/night hike at Olde Rope Mill Park in Woodstock.

We'll be hiking on the Taylor Randal Memorial Bike Trails, which hiking is permitted.

The trails are directional by day of the week and we'll be hiking all 3 loops.

Bikes have right of way at all times, so if we see any bikers, then we'll need to quickly move off trail to allow them to pass. I doubt we'll see many, but we should be aware.

Be sure to bring your headlamp or a flashlight because this is a night hike. :)

Plan to keep a moderate to somewhat fast pace on this hike.  We won't be running, but it is a faster pace with a minimum of 3 mph. If you are not sure that you can maintain that pace, this may not be the hike for you.

Total hiking is approximately 6.25 miles.

 

We'll be hiking Loop 1, 2 and 3 of the Avalanche Trail


Required Items to Bring:
  • 1 to 2 L. of water
  • Good hiking shoes/boots
  • Headlamp/flashlight
Recommended Items to Bring:

  • Dress in layers
