The Hike: We will focus on going up and down the ridges and valleys. The surface is rugged with loose or slick rock in places. It can be very slippery when wet. (HATs has considerable experience with wet trails here.) If you have poles, this is a good place to use them.

Trail conditions: mostly unpaved nature trails mostly gravel and granite
