EVENT: New to hiking? Lake Roland Park trail is a 4.5 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Baltimore, Maryland that features beautiful wild flowers ,in the summer, and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash. This will be an easy hike with a variation in elevation of 150 feet. We will be moving at an average pace of 2.5 miles per hour, with a break every half mile or as needed. There are a few stream crossing so be prepared.
NOTE: (Place hike details here)This is a hike for those who hike or walk at least 5 miles per week - and please RSVP only if you can maintain a 2 - 2.5 mph pace and navigate through stream crossings & up and down hills - THANKS.
SUGGESTED ATTIRE: Long hiking pants and hiking shoes or boots are highly recommended; however, trail running shoes or sneakers with treads can work.
WHERE TO MEET: We will be meeting at the trail head on Falls Road. Please be mindful to park in between the signs, to avoid being ticketed.
RSVP COMMON COURTESY: Only RSVP if you intend to make the hike a priority, not just an option. Specifically, it is Not fair to take a confirmed spot, then cancel less than 48 hours in advance, limiting your fellow “DMV Hiker's Club “ members' in “waitlist” status the potential to participate!
DOGS: There is a limit of one dog for this hike. Please send or post a message if you want to bring a dog. You and the dog must keep pace. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS: The dog is well behaved around our group, others and other dogs on trail. Keep the dog hydrated throughout the hike. Thanks!
Most of all, I look forward to our hike.

Disclaimers:
A quick reminder that this is our hobby, We do this for fun, to socialize, get exercise, be in nature and meet cool new people. Please set your expectations, and if you are expecting no risk and professionally run events, this may not be a good fit for you. We want to have fun and share our passion for the outdoors. We also want you all to enjoy yourselves too. No bad attitudes please. :)
As with all our events please remember that you are responsible for your own safety. There are the typical risks for any outdoor event plus we are in a pandemic. I cannot eliminate all risk for those who attend this event and you must take responsibility for yourself but I will do my best to use common sense best practices to try and minimize our risks.
