Post Christmas Hike - Bill Yeck Park - 5 - 6 miles

Distance: About 5 - 6 Miles
Pace: 3.0 mph (brisk) depending on trail conditions

Let's get a brisk 6 mile hike in at Bill Yeck Park (Smith House Entrance). There will be hills and creek crossings, so sturdy hiking boots and trekking poles are recommended. If we have had recent snow or ice, traction devices are also recommended. Dress for the weather and bring water.

In the event of inclement weather causing hazardous conditions, I may cancel, so please check this page before heading out Saturday morning.

A Friendly Guide to Sharing the Trails: As we hike, we'll be sharing the path with others. To ensure a peaceful experience for everyone, let's be mindful of how we communicate. Instead of loud call-outs, let's use quiet voices and enjoy the sounds of nature. 🐦 When encountering others, we can simply move to the right to let them pass. ➡️ If someone is coming up behind our group, a quiet message passed up the line works perfectly. There's no need to yell, stop or leave the trail entirely; just making a little space is all that's needed for everyone to share the path gracefully. ⚜️
