HIKE REVISED: HERE IS THE UPDATED ONE: Tree Spring Trail to Pino Canyon Overlook
Details
NOTE: NEW START TIME OF 2 PM INSTEAD OF 1 PM!
If you want to arrange any carpooling, you will need to do it without my assistance...sorry!
I am shortening this Sunday hike both because it will be quite warm (please bring PLENTY of water!!!) and because of my unexpected time constraints.
Here is the NEW data:
It will be a fairly strenuous climb uphill:
4.2 mile length round trip
1,017 ft elevation gain
2–2.5 hrs duration
GREAT VISTAS FROM THE TOP!!!
Average, steady pace of 1.5 miles/hr. uphill; 2.5 miles an hour downhill... so you MUST be a strong hiker!
ANOTHER NOTE: UNLESS YOU HAVE A PASS, YOU MUST HAVE $5.00 CASH TO PAY FOR PARKING AT THE TRAILHEAD.
Be sure to also come prepared with sturdy hiking boots--there are some rough and rocky parts-- poles if you have them, hat, plenty of water, snacks and sunscreen.
No dogs, please!
PLEASE also consider signing up for the dinner that follows at Trail Riders in Cedar Crest; I have created this dinner as a separate event so that people not prepared to do the hike could join for dinner afterwards.
We will leave PROMPTLY from the trailhead at 2 pm, so if you are late you will be left behind!! (Better to arrive early, of course!)
PLEASE also answer the questions that come as part of the requirement attached to signing up for this event!!
Thank you... Sheri
