We’ll be moving at a smooth and steady pace, able to maintain casual conversations. If you’re looking for more of a “training” hike, consider throwing some extra weight in your pack. Dave and Keith love to talk all things risk management so if you have any questions or discussion points, please bring them!

We’ll meet at the Shanahan Ridge Trail Head on Lehigh Street. Please be ready to depart promptly at 5:30pm so we can finish up around dinner time. We’ll do a quick gear check before we depart with a brief discussion.
