This is a strenuous hike. It is not for beginners. If the world is frozen you will need microspikes. I will likely reschedule if that is the case.
While this is a relaxed pace hike once we get past the crazy up and the crazy down I don't expect it to be a relaxed pace. If you have a hard time on the way up there are lots of opportunities to turn around. I hope to be the slowest one. This is a slow up and down hike, maybe not a relaxed pace hike. Does that make sense???
Mount Beacon is straight up for the first mile and the last. It is gravelly and slippery. I will be slow on the up and down sections. It has excellent views if you make it past the horrible up!!!! The fire tower is a great reward with more views both up and down the river. You must hike regularly to enjoy this hike. It is roughly 5 miles total.
$2 Meetup fee. If you send me your cell I will return with mine.
