My hikes have significant hang-out time. If the weather is good, it could be as much as an hour. I'd rather spend time in a beautiful place than rush back to the heat and pollution of the lowlands.
Part of the hike will be off-trail, but it's on tundra. There will be one small creek to cross, which we should be able to do on rocks.
