Cardio Hike: Piedra Lisa South (4 miles)
Details
Join me on this hike up Piedra Lisa South to the saddle about 2 miles in to a dedicated turnaround point. We will start heading up promptly by 6:05pm and head back down at roughly 7:10pm while gathering anyone hiking at a slower pace on the way down.
This is a cardio/fitness hike and everyone goes a different pace, meaning you may sometimes be hiking with the group and at other times be hiking alone. If you are unfamiliar with the trail, please use something like AllTrails/GaiaGPS to navigate if needed. The bottom of this description has a link to a similar AllTrails hike to the one we'll be doing.
Piedra Lisa trailhead is off Forest Service Rd 333. Instead of making a right to head towards La Luz trailhead, you go straight and follow the dirt road until the trailhead parking lot on the left.
Distance: 4 miles
Elevation gain: 1,200 feet
⚠ Parking Fee: None
Cardio hikes are designed for all paces. The goal is to have the opportunity to improve fitness and prepare for longer day hikes. You will likely find hikers with a similar pace, but may also find yourself hiking alone, particularly if you have not been hiking recently. Being familiar with the trail in advance is strongly encouraged. Please contact me directly or post in the comments if you have questions.
