Details

We've done this trail before but let's go a little longer this time! We will meet at Burnt Mills East park. If you know where the Trader Joes is, it's on the other side of the street. If you are driving on that side you can't turn left, you have to make a u-turn and turn right into the park.

The hike will go for about an hour and a half out and back, which is over 3 miles, maybe getting towards 4. There is ONE part on the hike where you have to scrabble up a steep part under some brush and it's tricky. Good traction on your shoes is helpful and it may be hard on the knees.

The shopping center across the street will have some bathrooms available (maybe buy a little something.) On-leash dogs are very welcome, just know that sometimes you encounter off-leash dogs.

In the case of extreme weather a message will be sent out and the event will have a grey banner marked "cancelled." If there is no banner we are going for it!
