Day Hike - Margaret's Way

Rising up to Spring Series. This is the 10th, and last, in a series of ten Feb-Mar morning hikes with the goal of waking up winter muscles to prepare for Spring hiking in April and beyond.

  • Moderate
  • Mileage: 7.0 mi

  • High Point Elevation: 1,700 ft
  • Pace: 1.75-2.0 moving pace

Mini-conditioning is the goal of this series of ten Feb-Mar morning hikes. This is your opportunity to organize your morning, your gear and practice getting your prepared-self to the trailhead. This is not a beginner hike series. The expectation is that you are a seasoned hiker in adequate condition; except, like me, you haven’t done much hiking since last year. Hikes in this series are 3-7 miles and 500’-1500’ elevation gain with a target 1.75-2mph moving pace. The distance and/or gain progresses with each hike. If you’re a lot slower or faster than the stated pace, these hikes are not for you.
