This is an easy to medium hike, 4-5 miles in total. We’ll depart from the meeting point at 10:10 AM, so please be on time, or feel free to catch up if needed. Dogs are welcome!

Be sure to wear good and comfortable shoes since the path can be rough at times. Also, bring water and snacks.

Afterwards, we’ll head to Sweet Lemon Kitchen for lunch to refuel. Everyone is welcome to join, but we may not be able to sit together since the restaurant is small and reservations are not allowed.

FYI: tickets sell fast, and I am considering the adults-only lounge car called Rippling Stream for the 7pm ride on 12/14. RSVP if you’re interested so we can sit together! :)
