"Greetings Fellow Hikers,
This is a 4 mile, slow paced, hike yet it will be somewhat challenging as we hike 1600 ft on the Appalachian Trail to the Pulpit.
At our slower pace this will be a 2-3 hour loop duration. We will gage the group but expect to move at 1.5 mph - 2.3 mph
We return from the Pulpit back to the parking lot via walking the non-challenging access road. Though there are some steep decline sections on this road.
Hiker Level: Due to the elevation this hike is for hikers between beginner (with a few hikes under their belt) to intermediate experienced hikers looking for a slower pace to build strength and endurance. No hiker left behind. Yet hikers who move too fast or far ahead of the group are on their own. We ask that you not sign up if you plan to move at a fast pace.
Wear your hiking boots, bring plenty of water and a small/med snack is a MUST. Poles are recommended.
Parking: There is lot with ample parking. If the lot fills, there are grassy areas where you can park on either side of the road that leads up to the parking lot.
Arrive by 8:45 am to be ready to start hiking at 9 am.
Rain will cancel the hike."
