Hike Fairland Recreational Park - Holly Loop - 2.7 miles, 170' Elev.

Details

We've finally got enough daylight that we can get some decent hikes in after work! The current forecast for Thursday is 76°, though it will likely be in the high 60°'s by the time we're on the trail. Sounds perfect to me!

We will meet by the bathrooms off of Greencastle Road. At 5:45 we'll do a very brief introduction and then head off on a combination out-and-back with a loop in the middle. The terrain is gently rolling throughout most of the hike, with perhaps four short but fairly steep climbs. It won't be especially difficult but is certainly more rugged than the paved part of the trail we did on New Year's.

With sunset at 7:35, I expect to be off the trail by 7:15, though probably earlier. If everyone feels they've sufficiently burned a few spare calories, we could possibly grab a pizza at Bella Indian Italian Cuisine, a short drive away.
