If the trail conditions and or the weather is unfavorable, the hike will be canceled or reschedule for a different location.

 Trails may be wet and muddy, and we will cross a few small creeks.  Water-proof footwear and trekking poles are recommended.

 Facilities are available at the lower parking lot but not the upper parking lot.

Since we are likely to complete this hike around lunch time, we will not stop for a formal lunch break.  Please bring small, energizing snacks that are easily consumed during our short 5-10 minute breaks or  snacks that you eat while we hike  along. 

 I am looking forward to sharing this delightful loop hike with you.  More details about this hike will be provided in the “Hello Hiker” email.
