Let's hike all of the Egypt Valley trail

Let's hike both sides of the Egypt Valley trail. It's just over 7 miles to do the complete circle.

There aren't all that many crazy high hills, but I always use trekking poles - even on flat ground - unless it's a paved trail.

We hike at a moderate pace - about 2.5 mph including breaks.

I always bring water and something to snack on. And of course you want to bring BUG SPRAY ! Ticks are bad in Michigan this year, so always do a tick check after your hike.

If you've never been on an organized hike before, please give us a try. Our motto is "hike your own hike", so you're welcome whatever your pace is. Please let me know if you're a newbie so I can try and answer any questions or concerns you might have.

As always, I recommend that you bring up the trail map on AllTrails BEFORE you get to the trailhead. Reception is not always great at the trail. You never know when you might have to make your way back to the parking lot by yourself, so it's always good to have the trail up on your phone.

We'll often go out to eat after our hikes depending upon everyone's schedule.

I'll have a dark blue Honda Accord. Please text me at 616 446 8102 if you're. running late. We can wait for you.

I also have a FB group called West Michigan Hikers. I ALWAYS post my hikes there. I SOMETIMES don't post in MeetUp.

See you on the trails !!
