Ellevated Hike - Hoot Owl Loop

11.40 miles, 2050 ft gain, 3.2ish mph pace

Hoot Owl Loop - we'll start & end on Hoot Owl, with many turns in between. Ups & downs for the first half, with a 700 ft ascent at mile 3.5-4.8. Gradually uphill for the second half.

I have not done these trails in this exact order, but I have it mapped out, and I want to give it a try. Sundays tend to be exploring days.

Ellevated hikes are very fast-paced hikes with very few breaks. They are typically 10ish miles & 1500-2000 ft gain. The pace is 3.2-3.4, and a bit slower on uphills. You can always pass on long uphills.

The free version of Meetup is sufficient to RSVP for hikes. Hikes leave on time, regardless of RSVPs, because sometimes people just plain forget.

You are responsible for your safety, so please honor your body. That being said, we won't leave anyone in the woods

I will message anyone who I haven't hiked with to make sure that you enjoy this pace. It is no fun for anyone to have someone out of synch with the pace for 9+ miles.
