Description: Join our AMC 20s & 30s community for an early evening wander along the mostly undeveloped Lost Lake in the West Woods of Guilford. We'll take the white square trail along the rocky/rugged east shore of Lost Lake and then loop back on the orange circle trail. Plan for a total length of 3 miles, though the loop can be shortened depending on the feel of the group and daylight. The terrain is very rocky and uneven so hiking shoes/boots are highly recommended for this one. A meal/social will likely occur afterwards at a nearby resturaunt. Trail map
Due to limited parking at the trailhead, we may meet in Guilford at the 5:30 start time and then carpool to the trailhead about 5 minutes away (details will be emailed out in advance). We can coordinate if anyone will be arriving from the Shoreline East train that arrives in Guilford at 5:37 or the 201 buses that arrive in Guilford at 5:35/5:39. Registrants can expect an email 2-3 days before with these final details and any other notes. Would like to bring a well-behaved dog? Prefer there not to be a dog on the hike for any reason? Please coordinate with the leader. Rain date: Wed July 1st.
Packing list: Footwear & water for 3 miles of rough terrain Snacks / bug spray / sunscreen as needed
