Leader in Training Hike for: Michael Bukay
The grass is greening up, the Aspens are close to leafing out, the birds are chirping, and the animals waking up from the long winter. Maybe we can spot some deer or elk too. This park has even been known to have Moose from time to time!
This will be a nice easy hike to get back into the swing of things after our winter season. All are welcome.
The hike is 3 miles. The majority of the elevation gain will be on the first half of our journey, and it will be mostly downhill for the return.
