- Take Your Pick Hike!Needs location
This hike has been amended as a co-leader event. Millie Schwenk will lead hike #1 and I'll cover version #2.
#1. Strenuous. 9 miles. 2,400' elevation. This includes an ascent of Robertson Mountain considered one of the hardest hikes in SNP (I know that will get the "Wild Ponies" excited).
Alltrails#2. Moderately strenuous. 7.5 miles. 1400' elevation. This is the Weakley Hollow/Berry Hollow Fire Roads out and back which lends itself to trail conversations at a moderate pace.

- Keyser Run/ Pole Bridge Link---plus Lisbeth's Performance!Needs location
As some of you may know, club member Lisbeth Sabol is a performing artist. I am rescheduling this hike for Saturday, June 15 to enable my fellow rehydration buffs an opportunity to enjoy Lisbeth's appearance at the Little Washington Winery & Brewery at 2 pm.
The hike is strenuous at 9 miles and 2,000' elevation gain, but the music and libations will restore our energy! Bring your lawn chair.
