Details:
Let's go on a Sun morning hike at Quicksilver! Will meet at 10:30 AM at Mockingbird entrance. This is a hike for those in the BAS-40 gang that like a good heart pounding sweat inducing hike. This hike is an intermediate or above hike from a standpoint of physical effort. This is definitely not a beginner hike, so if you are not in pretty decent aerobic shape or have not hiked before, this is not for you. The first mile is very steep (25-30 degrees grade) and we keep a decent pace.

DISTANCE / Elevation: the distance will be \~4 miles with an elevation gain of \~1000 + ft. It is moderate with semi-strenuous parts especially the first mile as I mentioned above. We can add a 1 mile or 2 mile loop if the gang is interested to keep going.

CLOTHING: Always good to dress in layers and remove as necessary. The steep climb will keep you warm, however, so the ability to add or remove layers is good. NOTE: Heavy rain will cancel the hike. Check back prior to leaving for the hike just to be sure.

General rules:

* DO NOT attend if you are sick, coughing, sneezing, or have been around anyone who is sick.

Meeting Location

* Trail entrance on the right side of the parking lot when looking toward the mountain. The trail names on that side are Hacienda and New Almaden. We will hang out for 10-15 min just in case folks are running a bit late, but expect to be hoofing it by 10:15AM for sure.

OTHER:

* If you have hiking poles, this is a good hike to use them especially on the steep parts.
* There is a public bathroom in the parking lot if needed, but please take care of business such that we are on time to get started. Don't roll up at 10:00 AM and then say you have to use the facilities.
* Please change your RSVP if you cannot attend. No Shows will be removed from the group.
