Elephant Trail - 6 MILES - PET FRIENDLY BRISK HIKE!
Details
This hike will be around 6-6.25 miles at a quick moderate pace - (18-20 minutes per mile). It is a straight out and back path. The entire trail goes from Aura to Elmer for about 5.1 miles. We are going to hike out @3 miles then come back.
This is a brisk fast quick pace. Know your limits. If you can do 3 miles in 1 hour with no stopping, you will be fine. No scheduled breaks.
Your well behaved leashed dog that gets along with other people and dogs is allowed to join us. This is a wide easy path out and back so if theres any unforeseen issues, you can drop back for a bit. Please bring bags for any animal waste to carry out with you. This is a trial run that we may tweak a bit to ensure all have a great time. Non pet owners are welcome as well
Only current paid OCSJ members may attend.
The trail is an unpaved path with a lot of stones and wood chips. Recommend comfortable hiking shoes or boots only. Not a lot of wet areas but do recommend using tick and mosquito protection.
There are a couple of road crossings. There are bathrooms prior to the start at the baseball complex we will park in.
Look for a black Honda Pilot with a bike rack on the back. I have a long blond braid.
