Itinerary:

This 32k hike is for experienced hikers who like to step the pace up a bit. The hike is beautiful, not too technically challenging, but I will try to keep it moving at an energetic pace.

No steep climbs but quite a bit of walking up and down hills . Nice lookouts. There are some areas of rough footing - mandatory hiking shoes/boots. The hike is a fair length so the pace will be steady and there will be not a lot of breaks. The distance might change depending on weather, trail condition and group dynamics.

Participants must be able to hike at a minimum of 4.5k/hour pace to come on this hike. It is the responsibility of those coming to ensure they can hike at this pace before joining us. There will be no dropouts.

Participants must show they are able to hike the distance and terrain.
