Jumping pound ridge ( OT4)

This will be a slow and steady pace hike so if you want to go fast or go ahead of the group, this hike is not suitable for you. Because there is a possibility that we will car shuttle for this hike but I will wait until the morning to decide based on the condition so I don't recommend people to meet at trailhead as it may be different than what you think.

Note: Priority will be given to regulars and people with good attendance in the past. If you have a long history of dropping off , you will remain on the waitlist.
