Activity Notes

Shake off the post-feast torpor and join us for a brisk ramble on the Forest Park trails west of Germantown Road.

This hike will be approximately 11 miles long, with close to 2000' of elevation gain. We will walk it fairly quickly, with a pace of about 2 1/2  to 3 miles per hour. There looks to be one fairly steep, steady climb of about 800'.

We will meet and begin hiking at 8:30 AM from the Leif Erickson Trailhead (LOCATED HERE) on Germantown Road.

If anyone needs a ride from the Eastside or wishes to carpool, the leader can meet at the MMC (LOCATED HERE) at 7:45 AM, although it is only a 25 minute drive to the trailhead.
