Trip open to all branches and eligible members. This hike is for developing/improving physical conditioning. The pace is listed as 1.8-2.3 mph, but we will adjust to trail/snow conditions and a pace that allows conversations. Should the weather and or trail conditions work against us, we will discuss and agree to alternatives as a group. Other than personal bio-breaks, we will stay together as a group within speaking distance of one another. Our plan would be to spend no more than 15-20 min. at the objective, rest, and enjoy a snack, prior to returning.
Meet at the May Valley Trailhead at 7:45 AM for a brief meet and greet, depart by 8:00 AM sharp. Discover Pass required.
