Gunpowder Sweet Air (Harford Co) 6-mile hike
Details
RAIN or SHINE! (Hopefully the rain will be over by the time we get going!)
Join me for a 6-mile loop hike through Gunpowder Falls State Park Sweet Air area (Harford County side). We will be hiking portions of the blue, white, red, yellow and green trails which include fields, wooded areas (including a pine forest), and along the
Gunpowder River. There will be a combo of flat stretches and rolling hills, with a couple of decent hills, but elevation totals are only around 570ft. We'll be shooting for a pace of about 2.5-2.75 mph.
Be prepared for roots, rocks and mud (esp with all the rain we've gotten). Please wear sturdy, waterproof shoes/hiking boots, bring a raincoat (just in case!), plenty of water and a snack if you'd like. We'll take a couple of short breaks as needed.
There is plenty of parking but it is a "free-for-all" in that you can park anywhere - on the gravel, on the grass - wherever. No designated spots. We will meet at the sign/map in the parking area. There is a porta potty (usually pretty clean) there as well.
Please make sure you are comfortable hiking this distance and keeping pace with the group
