Marv Freedman is offering a long, challenging trail and bushwack, one-way hike to three high peaks. With almost 4000’ in overall elevation gain and a distance of 12 miles, this hike is rated as difficult.

Hikers need to bring water/ sports drink, lunch/ snacks, sturdy water-resistant boots, layered clothing, rain gear, insect repellent, sunscreen, and hiking poles are recommended. The pace of the hike will be moderate (about 1-1/2 mph moving speed) with steep climbs, and short breaks. We expect the hike to take more than eight hours (plus some time for the shuttle).

The event is limited to 12 people and registration is required by April 25. To register, contact event leader Marv Freedman at  marvfreedman@gmail.com Please include your cell phone number with your registration request. Dogs are permitted with the permission of the event leader.

We will meet at the Shaft Road parking area in time to sign in, transfer gear, and begin the shuttle at 8 am.
