Expected return time is around 6:30 PM. This hike is not strenuous, but we will take our time and enjoy it! The rewards are simply amazing. We will meet at the usual EDH park and ride location at 7:30AM and we will carpool from the park and ride. Please bring day hiking gear: Poles, gloves, hat, sun screen, insect repellent, energy bars, dry fruits, swim suites & lunch etc.
