Meet at 6 PM in the zoo parking area by the trail head for the Blue Trail. More specific information in the leader's email 2-3 days prior to be sent out to all who sign up.
The plan is to follow the blue or light blue routes marked on the park map to see most of the park. Rest stop site will just depend upon how we travel with our dogs. The goal will be to complete the hike between 8:30 and 9pm to ensure we are at our cars when there is still good light. Therefore, the route may also change based upon how it goes while traveling with our dogs.
