Soul Hike

Let's start the year grounded, moving and connected.
This New Year hike is a continuation of the hiking challenge I introduced during previous group hikes with OA. It is designed for individuals who have been actively participating and are ready to continue, building endurance, confidence, and trail skills.

5.7 miles/Moderat/Elevation gain 1000 ft
This hike is recommended for:
- Participants who completed the previous challenge hikes successfully
- Hikers who are comfortable with moderate mileage and varied terrain with elevation gain 1000 ft. (note most of the elevation is towards backend of the hike.)
- Individuals looking to continue challenging themselves in a supportive group setting.

New participants are absolutely welcome if you feel your current hiking skill level, fitness, and trail awareness align with a moderate, progression based hike.
What to Expect
