|

|

The inaugural Group Hike Of The Month (GHOTH) is coming up!
When: Saturday Feb 7th 8am
Where: Peralta Trailhead
We will be doing the the Dutchman’s/Bluff Springs loop starting on the Dutchman’s trail at Peralta trailhead and returning to Peralta trailhead on the Bluff Springs trail. The hike is about 9.5 miles long (some maps say 8.5) and there are a couple of moderate climbs along the way. Total elevation gain throughout the hike is about 1500 feet. This is a great loop hike and at an easy pace everyone should be able to do it. Pack a lunch because we will be stopping for lunch near Bluff Springs. I’m estimating 5-6 hours total time but if it takes more time that is fine too.
Afterward we will meet for food and beverage.
Head count Thus far...

Anyone else?
This is a great hike, I'm sure everyone that has been on it will agree. How about if I bring a cooler full of beer for after the hike?
