  • Elevation Gain: 1,200 ft
  • Pace: 1.5-2.0 mph

Meet at the Wilderness Creek Trailhead at 8 a.m.  Due to the recent pandemic, carpools will not be encouraged unless they are with people you normally share space with. There is no parking pass required. 

Participation is limited to practice "social distancing". If you are sick or are caring for someone who is sick please stay home.  During the coronavirus outbreak, I think this is good advice for any situation. Extra personal protection (hand sanitizer, gloves and bandana for covering your mouth if you need to) is encouraged.
