Pre-BCEP Conditioning Hikes, Sunday Series, Hike 2 (Frog Lake Butte)

Activity Notes

This is the second hike in a 4-hike series designed and offered to help 2024 BCEP students improve their hiking fitness and get ready for BCEP.

Individuals who have applied for 2024 BCEP will be given priority over others.

Other hikes in this series  can be found on the calendar by looking for the "Pre-BCEP Conditioning Hikes, Sunday Series, Hike #"  title.

This Sunday Series of these hikes is designed for students who will begin their BCEP class after March 16.

The actual hike and location may change depending on conditions, but each hike series will begin with an easy to moderate hike (less than 10 miles and less than 1500' elevation gain) and then progress until the fourth and last hike in the series will be either more than 15 miles or more than 2500' of elevation gain.

The specific hike and location will be added to this description and distributed by email to the participants approximately one week prior to the hike.

These hikes will give you an opportunity to improve your fitness and test out your hiking gear and clothing in winter conditions, and practice proper layering to match the weather and pace of the hike in order to maintain a consistent body temperature and avoid overheating or getting chilled.

Unless otherwise indicated, these hikes will take most or all of the day. Please bring water, lunch, and snacks to fuel you throughout the day!
