Grant Park 7.5 Mile Hike

November 25, 2012 · 1:00 PM
Grant Park

This is a 7.5 mile, moderate to brisk paced, hike at Grant Park. We will hike the yellow, brown, blue, red trails and lots of unmarked trails to stitch together a 7.5 mile hike with minimal overlap. You will see plenty of pretty scenery on this hike but this is not a sight seeing hike. This hike is meant for exercise as we will hike at a steady 2.5 mph pace. This hike will last about 3 hours. Meet at the Nature Nook parking lot on McEwen Road.

A delightful day for a hike. Great company! We increased the pace to brisk since we had a very hardy group.

I have not hiked in Grant Park. Are hiking poles necessary?
