Meeting at the Rex Avenue Trailhead Kiosk
Join Debbie and Jim on our last hike of the winter. This month we’ll be appreciating some of the work done by the FOW in 2024 as we traverse 2 reroutes and walk across the new pedestrian bridge. And we’ll note the beautiful vistas before the trees leaf up in the spring. We’ll pass by some areas of historical and cultural interest and also some beautiful rocks.
Our route is about 3.5 miles and includes some rocky ascents and descents. Save some energy for the climb up to Rex Avenue at the end.
Children 12 years of age and older are welcome when accompanied by an adult, but, please, no dogs except for service animals.
Distance: 3.5 miles
Level: Difficult (many inclines and declines, uneven surfaces)
Registration is required for all hikes so that participants can be informed of weather or other emergency cancellations.
