Bring whatever you need to stay comfortable: water, snacks, comfortable shoes, warm jacket, hat, gloves, etc…

A few simple notes:
— The hike will happen rain or shine.
— The trailhead parking lot is on the East side of Rte 17, the Lost Mountain side (opposite side from the main park entrance and house).
— Hike begins @ noon (no waiting for latecomers)
— Plan to arrive at least 5 minutes early. Folks will need to sign-in, which includes a simple waiver form.
— There is no waitlist. All comers are welcome.

As always, it’s important to know your own abilities and stay within them.

See you there!
