Hike Water Works Park in Annapolis - VERY hilly 5 miles

Be warned: this trail has way more hills than you would ever expect to find in Annapolis!

This is a rolling out-and-back trip, but contains two large loops so we won't actually do that much backtracking. We will start with the southern leg of the Housley Loop, pass the current and former water works on the Missing Link Trail, then take the east side of the Solar Trail Loop before backtracking on the other halves of the loops we skipped. We'll even get an up-close view of the massive solar panel array on our way back. Total distance should be 5 miles and I expect to be wrapped up before 1pm. The terrain is quite hilly in many spots, but none of them are especially tall. You will get a workout!

We'll meet up in the Staples parking lot, which is a quarter mile from the trailhead, but should provide nearly limitless parking. Please be polite and park off to the side to leave room for their customers. Please arrive with enough time to find us, as we start hiking towards the trailhead promptly at 10:30.
