  • Mini-conditioning is the goal of this series of eight Feb-Mar Wednesday morning hikes. See complete hike list HERE
  • This is not a beginner hike series. If you don't have hikes on your 2023 Activity Profile, you will be removed from the roster.
  • The expectation is that you are a seasoned hiker in adequate condition; except, like me, you haven’t done much hiking since last year. This is your opportunity to organize your morning, your gear and practice getting your prepared-self to the trailhead on time.
  • Hikes in this series are 3-8 miles and 600’-2100’ elevation gain with a target 1.75-2mph average 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. We hike together as a group.
  • Unless there are hazardous trail or road conditions, we will hike in all weather conditions.
