This will be a moderate hike along well established trails to the large rock formations on Raspberry Ridge (no scrambling required). We will break here for a snack or lunch. There is very little shade on these trails so bring plenty of water especially if it's going to be sunny. Our pace should average around 2.0 mph but a little slower on the inclines. This should be comfortable for all but if in doubt please contact me in advance.

Here is a link to the route in COTREX - our route. From this link not only can you explore the route, but you can also download a gpx file for your favorite mapping tool, find directions, and see the local weather forecast. 

Leader will send more detailed information a few days prior to departure.
