Mount Hoffmann - T2 - SLOW pace
Details
Distance: 9 km return
Elevation 470 m
Trailhead: Indian Oils Day Use
Max 10 hikers
No dogs, no children, no guests
Time: We are out for the day
Event Pace: SLOW with plenty of rest stops for de-layering, water, snacks, pictures or just to catch our breaths. Journey is as important as destination, so we won’t be rushing. You must stay with the group for the duration of the entire hike and allow slower members to catch up.
Please don't sign up for this event if you rated yourself ADVANCED OR HIGHER (D or E) on your profile. I’m finding that having people with different levels of ability creates stress for both sides and reduces pleasant hiking experience.
This hike is weather dependent, please check in the morning of the event to make sure it’s not cancelled due to poor weather.
