Trailhead, 8 AM.
A hike in the woods close to home. This trip is intended as a winter conditioning hike and so we will continue to Central Peak and West Peak and return on the Chybinski Loop trail adding at least 5 miles to the 5.5 mi. the club lists for the Margaret's Way trail alone. We will hike at a moderate pace of about 2 mph.
This trail is close to town, but still is a wilderness experience. Please be prepared with appropriate gear and dressed for a winter outing in the woods (snow is possible). We will have more fun if everyone is comfortable.
Required Equipment
Please bring microspikes or other traction devices as there can be ice in winter.
