New 9am start time: Germantown MetroPark Hike 7-9 miles - Moderately Brisk
7501 Conservancy Rd, Germantown, OH, USWarm spring weather is here — so start time back at 9 am . Jon Lane will be leading this hike. Thanks Jon!
We'll hike the beautiful Germantown MetroPark on the "classic" 7.1 mile Orange trail. The "classic" route is the original route of the Orange trail, which excludes the mostly prairie section. If muddy, which is often the case, we'll hike the roughly parallel Yellow, Green, and Pink trails. We'll add the optional Bob Siebenthaler loop if desired. Wear hiking boots or trail running shoes.
The hike will begin at the scheduled start time. If late, please join us 2 miles into the hike, at the Welcome Center, where we make a brief stop. Bring water and a snack if desired. If your plans change please update your RSVP to "not going".
The pace should be approximately 3.0-3.3 MPH (18-20 min/mile). This is not a slow pace. If the pace is too fast for you, please be prepared to hike on your own back to your car.
Dogs are permitted with leashes no longer than 8 feet, per park guidelines.
Please note that some GPS units in cars will not route you properly to the start of the hike. Instead, in the Meetup app for the hike, tap the Google icon and follow the routing.
