9 Mile VERY Strenuous Hike at JMF with the Winter Beech Leaves
- March 9 · 9:00 AM
A 9 mile hike at a fast pace with seemingly endless hills - equivalent to HFH Level 5
Limit: (waiting list available)
Difficulty: Very Strenuous
Pace: Pretty Fast (3 mph)
Distance: 9 miles
Duration: 3+ hrs
Why: To go for a long walk in the woods
Route: Welcome Center to the Yost Area via the connector, around the Yost loop, then back the way we came
Maps: Horine Area ; Paul Yost Area
What to bring: Water, snacks if you want them
Pets: Dogs, cats and hamsters are welcome if they're used to walking long distances
Special Considerations: Steep hills, rocky/uneven terrain, briars. Slight chance of a tick or skunk. No poison ivy, no poisonous snakes.
Regroup procedures: We will regroup as necessary or hike together, depending on the pace of the participants. No one will be left to finish on their own.
Questions or concerns: Many common concerns are addressed in the Frequently Asked Questions About Speed Hikes discussion thread. Please also feel free to post in the comments below, or message the event host.

Thank you for great hike and great company. Like Tippi, I can't walk anymore, heck I can't get out of the car.

Great to see you out this morning. With the mild weather and the mostly dry trails, I bet you had a good hike.

Sorry to change my mind so late. Wanted to take the dog but she hurt her leg chasing rabbits so will go on a slower hike instead. Sorry to miss it.
