We all know that hiker who likes to stop every few steps to point out some cool fungi, or stop to examine a freshly fallen feather. This is NOT the hike for them. For hikers who just want to enjoy their time outdoors and trek on. This hike will be moderately paced. We will meet at the High Point Trailhead each month and take a long 3.5-5-mile hike on a variety of trails. These trails are not stroller- or wheelchair-friendly. Hikers should be able to maintain a moderate pace throughout the hike. There will be some slight elevation changes and exposed roots along packed dirt trails. Most hikes will not be loops, so we will hike to the observation point and return the same way. Sturdy shoes, hiking sticks, bug repellent, and water are highly recommended for all hikes.
