Hike Leader: David will be leading this hike.

Specs: The hike is classified as moderately strenuous with a few big uphill and downhill parts, although much of the trail has gently rolling terrain.  We will be hiking a total of about 6.0 miles and will take approx. 3.5 - 4 hours.

As with all hikes you must be in good, athletic shape.  This is NOT suitable for beginner hikers unless you are in good shape.

Note:  David will not be waiting for late people.  In fairness to those who arrive on time, the hike will start on time.

Sweeper: If the group size is larger than 10, we are going to look for a volunteer to act as a sweeper. Sweepers will walk at the end of the hike line and will make sure the group stays together.

What to bring: Hiking boots and 2 liters of water (required).  We recommend a light snack to keep your appetite satisfied. Please make sure you have a bag to carry out your garbage.

Inclement Weather: Any precipitation beyond a drizzle will cancel this hike. Tickets will be refunded.

Directions: Take 287 North or South to exit 55. If you took 287 South, make a right at the end of the exit ramp then a left onto Ringwood Ave.  If you took 287 North, make a right at the end of the exit ramp and you will be on Ringwood Ave.  Follow Ringwood Ave for about 1 mile then make a right onto 4^th Ave. Follow 4^th Ave until you get to Back Beach Park (once you follow the curve to the left, you will have to bear right at several forks)
