WHAT TO EXPECT
A welcoming, social hike at a steady group pace with water, snack, photo, and lunch breaks. Expect roots, rocks, mud, slippery surfaces, and wet autumn weather. This is a long forest hike, so please be comfortable walking 14 km on uneven ground. We stay on the signed route, respect park closures, keep back from slippery waterfall edges, and pack out everything we bring.
No egos and no detours. We start together and finish together.
The hike depends on safe weather and trail conditions. Check the latest park advisories and this event before leaving home. The host may change, shorten, postpone, or cancel the hike if conditions are unsafe. We will not cross unsafe water or enter closed trails.
