This is an out and back evening hike following the Ditches Trail from the Willowbrook TH to Hunters' Knob. There are some uphill/downhill pitches, all on trail, mostly through wooded area. We may encounter some wet sections. Poles are helpful. Long pants, hats, and long sleeves are suggested as protection from ticks and other insects. We will pause for snacks & water along the way, and at the top of the knob (time permitting). Plan on hiking nutrition of ~50 g of carbs per hour of activity. 

Sunset is about 8:30 PM. We will start by 5:15 PM to hopefully finish before darkness, but bring a headlamp just in case. 

Following the hike, we can extend social time with Tailgate provisions, weather permitting.
