Ward Pound Ridge RT Trail -Early Bird Special -14 year hiking series

I am on the clock for this one which means I need to be off trail by 11:45 AM

Features - The RT trail and whatever else I can figure out - maybe the Leatherman or Larryman

I'd like to work in a typical Saturday hike meaning at least 8 miles with an elevation gain for the day of at or around 2000ft.

We will have a brisk pace - an opportunity for my Sunday regulars to sample a Saturday hike that is a notch or two above a Sunday hike

Estimated Distance - 8-9.999 miles

Estimated Group Size - With a 7:45 AM start - who knows

Everyone starts on the waitlist. First spots always go to the regulars with a solid history of attendance.

Please check in with me if this is your first event with the group - I need to know where you have hiked recently before I can add you.

We will be on the move at 7:45 AM so please plan to arrive early if you require additional prep time.

Note - Cell service in parts of the park is spotty -if you are running late, I may not be able to receive any calls or texts.

Meetup Location - Michigan Road Lot

Upon entering the park, pass the booth and make your first right onto Michigan Road. Stay straight on Michigan Road until you reach the end of the road - room for 10 cars on the right and 60 cars on your left
