7 to 8 miles with about 1200 to 1300' of elevation.
End time approximate. Brisk & steady pace,
Snack stop towards end of hike.
We may (especially near water) request a few quiet zones so that we can enjoy the sounds of nature.
Small group hike:
- but if you have hiked with me before, reach out and I can add you in.
- please only RSVP if you really intend to come as you are reserving a spot on a small group hike; keep rsvp current.
Make sure you are prepared for a hike with a group, including a sustained uphill climb. If you sign up to hike with a group, then you are expected to end with the group or sign out.
If you are in the lead you will end up waiting at trail junctions and bridges (where we may enjoy a stretch or two). If you fall behind, you will want to focus on hiking and try to keep up with the group.
Please ALWAYS check this post the night before just in case there are changes due to weather, air quality or whim. This is so important. It is imperative that check your email (including your junk folder) before you leave in the morning in case of a change.
Arrive in time to park, use bathroom and gear up as we start on time.
When you sign up, be sure to click waiver (or you're not signed up) and provide your contact phone number.
Parking is usually OK with our early start. If lot is full, there's parking before on the same (ocean) side or after on the opposite side (up towards the fire station).
