Friday Morning 4.5 mile Hike at JMF

RSVP's close at 9pm the day before the event.

Looking for a way to get in better shape while enjoying nature with good company, and without going to a boring gym? Come enjoy the Siltstone Purple Heart loop at JMF.

This fitness hike will occur every Friday unless rain is imminent. If no one RSVPs by 9:00 PM the night before, I reserve the option to show up early or late.

Meet behind the JMF Welcome Center at the picnic tables. The hike will start 5 minutes after the listed start time or when all RSVPs are present (whichever comes first).

This is a 4.5-mile -strenuous pace- hike. There's no trail running involved but it includes 2000 feet of elevation change in 90+/-15 minutes so it is a good workout. If you can hike the Siltstone Purple Heart loop in 105 minutes or less this is a hike for you. If not, check out the Sunday Social Hike.

There are 3 shortcuts back to the Welcome Center along the trail if you aren't feeling it.

Our goal will be to make it in 90 minutes or less but if you need longer (up to 105 minutes) and you are willing to work towards a 90 minute pace over time I'll be glad to help show you how to do it over time. Those who want to go faster are welcome to hike ahead.
