Time to dust off your backpacking gear and start training for this summer’s epic adventures. This will be a 6.1 mile casually-paced hike. We will travel and take breaks as a group. The plan is to hike in and set up camp. Then, participants can decide to explore further along the Brookside McCurdy Trail or rest in camp. The hike out in the morning will be along the Lizard Rock Trail with opportunities for photos among the distinctive rock formations.
