My Goals: Have fun hiking this beautiful trail. Hear lots of cheerful chatter. Have everyone feel great about completing the hike.
My Expectations: Hikers are at the trailhead, ready to hike, at the meeting time. All are prepared to hike whatever the weather. Photographers/naturalists keep up with the group. Group stays together and supports one another.
My Style: Hike at a pace comfortable for all. Invite curiosity and commentary from fellow hikers.
Meet at 8 am at the Squak Mountain State Park, May Valley trailhead
