HIKE DESCRIPTION
This hike is a combination of Guardian Angel and Britt's Loop hikes. The route has 3 climbs and passes through some narrow passages. We'll pass through lots of different colors of rocks. There will be a few different places that we can stop and enjoy the various views of the Park and the City.
Soon after we get out of Red Springs we'll begin to hit the rocks. This part of the climb requires use of hands to keep balanced. There might be some areas that might require you to push or pull your way up, but most of it will simply require you to keep your balance as you climb up the rocks. If this doesn't get your heart rate up, then you're not doing it right.
We'll go past the Guardian Angel carving and then up through the Black Corridor and then back around and back to the parking lot using some new routes.
• Helmets are always welcome. Be sure to use one that doesn't block your sight.
• Always carry "in case of emergency" numbers with you.
• No guests will be allowed without my prior approval.
YOU MUST BE ON THE "GOING" LIST IN ORDER TO GO ON THIS HIKE. CRASHING WILL NOT BE ALLOWED.
Meet Location will be sent by text or message on the day prior to the hike.
