Strenuous Hike - Skyline from DCR Rink - 3-4 hours.

This is a training hike for our Welch Dickey Hike on the 4th of November. The plan is to hike from the DCR Shea Rink via the Skyline Trail out for about 90-120 then return. We'll see how we feel and guage the weather. That will determine how far and if we return via the Skyline (more difficult) or a more gentle trail. But hte objective is to hike 6 or miles with 1000 feet of elevation gain.
