An Afternoon at Ringwood Botanical Gardens

We will meet in Parking Lot C and leave promptly at 1:40 for a 1/2 mile walk to the Carriage House where we will meet for a 2PM guided tour of the Gardens. I don't know how far or how long it will be that is up to the guide. After the tour is complete we can hike a 2.5 miles stretch of the mountains back to the parking lot which has one incline to a nice view, as well as a rock formation along the way.

If the group prefers we can continue to walk the grounds or meet for dinner.

I would consider this a relatively easy hike / walk but both boots and bug spray are recommended.
