5 hikers attended this rigorous hike of approximately 8 miles with several hills. Hiking conditions were ideal, temperature in the low 50s, no wind. clear and sunny skies. Most of the leaves were on the ground and this created challenges for the hikers because rock and root trip hazards lay hidden beneath the leaves. Fortunately, noone fell. All 5 hikers enjoyed the wonderful challenge of the hike as well as the comradery and good conversation along the trails.

Just saw that this was a "D" or rugged, for experienced hikers only, so now I'm not so sure lol.
