Trip
Octo Hike – Flying J Ranch
his is an Octogenarian Hike. Octo Hikes have a slower pace, shorter mileage, less elevation gain, and more frequent stops then typical CMC Easyhikes. You do not need to be an Octogenarian to join the Octo Hike series which runs from May through December. All are welcome just realize we will travel at a slower pace.
