First Fast Four miles (not slow) 800+ ft of Elevation

This will be our first weekday evening hike at Valley Forge for 2026. We will get in about 4 miles and 800+ft of elevation at a decent pace (apprx. 3.0-3.3 mph) along the trails of Mt Joy. We will have a few quick pauses.

Sunset is 7:02, so we will be starting promptly at 5:30 to get our 90 minute hike in. If you are running late, message me before 5:20 so we know to loop around to meet you. I cannot read or reply to messages once we start.

Best to wear hiking boots or trail running shoes as we'll be on the dirt trails with rocks and tree roots; not paved paths. It is also a good idea to bring a hiking pole.

Definitely recommend hydrating before the hike and bring plenty of water and a snack.
