River and Hills, 5-6 Moderate Miles

## Details

The hike is expected to be about 5 - 6 miles in length with several hundred feet of elevation gain. We'll aim for a walking speed of about 2.5 MPH. If you haven't completed a similar hike recently, please don't sign up for this hike.

The trails are normally in good shape but expect rocky and rooty sections with mud. There are several usually modest stream crossings. Waterproof boots are highly recommended.
