Aspire Park - Trails loop +/- 3.5 miles

Aspire Park
Distance: 3.5 miles
Difficulty: Easy to Moderate, hills do get a little steep
Elevation: Roller-coaster
Type of hike: Loop

We will meet in the West parking area near the Pearl restaurant walkway. There is a structure that looks like a bus stop we will meet here.

We will pick a few trails and wonder around. With the recent opening, I have only been able to explore a few trails. These are well marked so we can get a little lost but should find our way back.

WHAT TO BRING
We always suggest carrying the 10 essentials when going into the woods. You can download a pdf file from REI here: https://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/day-hiking-checklist.html

Because it’s the Appalachian Mountains, be mindful of the weather and bring the necessary waterproof outer layers, insulation, water, and snacks to be safe.
