Moderate+ to Challenging hike: Ski Area, up Winsor Tr to RavensRidge for 2+- mi.


Details
--> NOTE: 10:00am meet time !
Moderate+ to Challenging hike from Ski Area at end of Hyde Park Road, going up Winsor Trail to Wilderness Gate and on up along Ravens Ridge Trail, all through the forest. The trail leads to Deception Pk, Lake Pk, Penetente Pk, Doctor Pk (and anywhere else you can walk to.) But we will not expect to go quite so far: only as far as our group's consensus permits!
This will be an out & back walk.
Many quiet places to stop for noticing our thoughts and sensory inputs, but we'll look to meditate near the turn-around point.

2. If you live closer to the ski area, by all means go to it. Park near the Restroom, Map board and Picnic table in the bottom Parking Lot., BUT, as usual, Let the organizer/host know !!, otherwise we'll ALL be waiting for those who will never show. :-(
Also adjust your time to arrive at TH given that we will be arriving 20-30 minutes after Start time (driving time).
