    I would like to pick up the pace a little so that I'm more prepared for other hikes.

    Sondra, how long do these hikes usually last? I only ask because I have to be at work at 1145 on Wednesday nights.

      Hi Chris. The Wed night beginner hike is only an hour long hike. Sometimes if the group is up to it, it might get stretched out another 15/30 minutes.
