Hikers should anticipate fall and winter conditions – boots, icers, poles, gators, layered clothing, water, snacks, lunch, first aid kit. We will take turns shuttling from meeting place to trailhead each day and a driver will need to take the shuttle drivers back to their car at the end of the hike. We will meet each day at 7:45 and shuttle to trailhead – hikers should arrive 15 minutes early to ensure ready to leave at 7:45. Anticipate most hikes will take approx 5-6 hours including lunch and snack breaks.
    Please ensure you are physically able to manage the pace, distance and potential wintry conditions of this hike before registering. Refunds are not allowed. Your fee includes the badge.
