***Join me to bring in the New Year!***

This morning we will hike the Canyon Ridge Trail, approximately 6 to 6 1/2 miles, at the Fort Worth Nature Center. The hike includes quite a few ascents/descents, old CCC structures, and a few views of Lake Worth. The trail is rocky and steep in a few places. Trekking poles may be helpful for some hikers.

**PACE FOR THIS HIKE:** This hike is **"at your own pace".** Our leader for this hike usually hikes the slower end of fitness pace with no rest stops. The pace may slow more in hot weather conditions. If you opt to attend and hike at your own pace you must be comfortable finding your own way on the trails. For more info on our various paces see our [group pace guide](https://sites.google.com/view/outdoorconnectiondfw/pace-guide).

**WHERE TO MEET:** Hikes start promptly at the indicated meetup time. We will meet at the parking lot near Greer Island. After checking in at the booth, drive one tenth mile and turn right on to Broadview Drive. In eight tenths mile, make another right on Shoreline Road. Continue all the way to the end of the road. 20 mph speed limit within the park. The park gate opens at 8:00am and there will likely be a line to get in. Please give yourself plenty of time to pay your fee and drive to the start location.

**FEE/RESERVATIONS:** Entry to the nature center is $6 per person ($3 for 65 and over) and is paid to the attendant at the entry booth. Plan to pay in cash with exact change to expedite the entry process and keep the line moving quickly. (Credit cards are accepted, but they seem to have frequent outages. Be prepared with cash.)
