Cougar Mountain Red Town Trailhead, Team Sloth, Slower Pace
Details
Let's go for a hike on Cougar Mountain starting at Red Town Trailhead.
Since Sunday is Mother's Day and I have things to do, keeping this one closer to home. Please be aware of any freeway closures, etc.
I will post the WTA link for the Trailhead location, but note the hike will be longer than the WTA description.
This will be a slower paced hike as I am working my way back into shape for hiking season. There are a lot of junctions on this trail and I will be asking the group to stay together.
Stats: about 6ish miles, 1,000ish feet gain
Estimated Hiking time about 4 hours
Pace, about 1.6
Please, no dogs

I recommend bringing hiking poles on this trail as there may be one section of this trail that needs some maintenance.
Bring, snacks, water, sturdy shoes and a rain jacket just in case
*No food/drink post-hike planned, hiking only
