Parking/Meeting: Meet at the end of the parking lot closest to the lake. If you are new to this hiking location, it would be wise to arrive a few minutes early to be sure you find the group.

Time: 10 am. We will take a few minutes for introductions and Trivia while Trekking and then begin our walk.
