We'll start on the Swamp Trail and pass some favorite spots including the Big Tree, Round Lake, the old bus and, of course, Tradition Lake. We'll stop at each of the sites, with a longer stop at Tradition Lake for a snack.

It is important that participants look at the stated hike description, distance, pace, elevation gain and consider your current fitness level in determining if this hike is a good fit for you. If you have any questions, please contact the trip leader in advance.
A leader may look at your profile and recent activities to ensure that they think you are ready for their trip. They may email or call you to ask you about your hiking history and conditioning activities.
Meet at the High Point Trailhead at 10:00am. Those who would like to join me in an optional dynamic yoga warm-up should be there by 9:45am.
There is an outhouse at the trailhead.
