2nd Annual Summer Solstice Extravaganza! Olympic Overlook Dual Beginner|Moderate
Details
Let's have a Summer Solstice Extravaganza! We had such a great time last year, we will do it again. You choose: Beginner or Moderate route. Bring a snack to share at the beautiful Olympic Farms Overlook as we watch the sun set on the longest day of the year. 🌞
We'll have several hike leaders, and we'll be leading two groups. One group will do a hike suitable for beginners and slower hikers: ~5 miles with a total elevation of ~380 feet. The alternate/moderate route will be more challenging, adding steeper climbs to a distance of ~5.5 miles, and go at a faster pace.
Both hikes will end at the Olympic Farms Overlook, with an amazing view of the sunset on the longest day of the year!
(This year's summer solstice is at 4:24 AM, June 21st. But we are celebrating on the 20th so as not to interfere with Father's Day and KIM'S BIRTHDAY!)
