This is approximately a 6.47 mile out-and-back trail (we will be doing the hike linked above + going up to the picnic spot). The elevation change is 803 feet. This is considered a Moderate route. It will take about 2.5-3 hours to complete.

We will stop for photos and lunch at the mid-way point so do bring your own lunch!

There is free parking at the Elfin Forest Interpretive Center. We will start meeting 10 minutes to 830AM, and start hiking at 8:35AM. Several sources online state that there is free live music played by Sabina on the Harp every Sunday at 12PM, so we do hope to make it back in time for the show.
