Although this is not officially a conditioning hike, we will attempt to maintain a brisk pace. We will hike the Gold Creek Trail to the Vista Trail and the summit of Green Mountain. Descend the Vista Trail and take the Wildcat Trail to the Beaver Pond Trail. Shortly past Beaver Pond, turn right on the Plummer Trail to return.
