We'll be hiking approximately 8.5 miles, 1900' elevation gain. This approach to Poo Poo point follows the longer, moderately steep, less frequented trail. You'll find it quite pleasant! As this is a conditioning hike, we will aim for a brief stop or two along the trail for layer adjustment/water/party separation breaks. We will also take a short break at the upper viewpoint for a bite to eat.
More hike details and recent trail reports can be found here on the WTA website.
