I set the Maximum Group Size to 4, because I can take 3 passengers, but this event can accommodate about 12 hikers.

The Seaton Trail is a real nice hike that is not a long drive from the city. I have hiked on it over 25 times.
This is a "there and back" hike on a dirt path through the forest along West Duffins Creek.
There will be many hills to climb,
a river to ford!! (we'll hop from boulder to boulder)
a few sections may be muddy and there are rocks and roots on the trail,
good hiking boots/hiking shoes are highly recommended.

Expect the high possibility of seeing geese or trout (in the sky and river, respectively).

We'll stop for a lunch break on the trail

If you cannot hike the entire distance at the indicated pace, please do not sign up for this hike. This will be an energetic hike

DRIVERS, WHEN YOU SIGN UP, PLEASE ANSWER THE CARPOOL QUESTION REGARDING THE # OF PASSENGERS YOU CAN TAKE IN YOUR CAR!!!

Members on the waiting list who are willing to drive will get first priority.
Passengers will be added as drivers become available.
Alternatively, you can meet us at the hike starting location.
