Itinerary:

This walk will be an exploratory hike to go check out the single trails and assess their suitability for backpack/terrain training.

If you have aspirations of doing the West Coast Trail or any other rough terrain trails, particularly backpacking, please join me for this exploratory hike. If you have other suggestions for trails/tracks which we can explore as well, let me know!

This will NOT be a fast-paced speed demon walk... the intention is to explore and assess the route for future events. Anyone who is interested in this hike is welcome - you don't have to be training for anything.

Meet in the parking lot at 7:20 PM for a departure just after that when the group is all there.
