Hike Leader(s): Bryon Robertson Click here to contact Hike Leader(s)
Pace: Brisk – 4 to 5 km/hr
Terrain: Easy – Mostly flat and usually good footing
Distance: 34 km+/-Description
This series of hikes is geared toward the experienced hiker capable of maintaining a steady 3.5 km./hr. to 5.0 km./ hr. pace over relatively easy terrain but for extended distances. The hikes are therefore somewhat similar to sectional E2Es and good experience for those considering these hikes for next year, or hikers just wanting to stay in shape before the holidays. Despite being mainly over paved trail, hikers are expected to wear proper hiking clothes and hiking boots, due to changeable and probable wet weather conditions. Hikers are also expected to carry sufficient water and food supplies for personal use, over an entire day of hiking, and a brief on trail lunch stop has been allowed for. Badges will be available for purchase by successful hikers upon completion of the series in N-O-T-L ($10.00).9:00 NEW TIME Long Hike Wiley Road Short Hills
