This hike is rated EASY.
Come out for mid-day hike at Lookout Mountain then caravan to Nina's nearby for food, drink and a dip in the pool! This trek will take us around the #308 trail in a nice big loop. There are definitely some uphill climbs, so while it's rated easy, first-timers will have to work it a bit. The pace will be moderate with a few rest stops along the way.
Bring lots of water, snacks, sunscreen, a camera and your bathing suit. Sturdy hiking boots are recommended. Please RSVP and tell us what you can bring to snack on or drink at the pool party.
