Itinerary: | |||||||
Hikers, you can bring a pack similar to what you'd bring on a day hike, or you can just walk/climb. Backpackers, this is an awesome opportunity to get used to the heavier pack weight! The rule of thumb is maximum pack weight should not exceed 30% of your body weight, and, unless you're already there, you should build up the weight over a number of weeks .... Runners, you are welcome to join us as the switchbacks / bike path offer an excellent cross training opportunity! There are 120 feet (~40m), 167 steps, of McHugh's Bluff to ascend or descend. This event is self directed, walk by yourself or with others, and chose your own pace and your own routing. A few suggestions are: Route #1: Head up the stairs and then back down, or walk down the bike path, to catch your breath Route #2: Try walking, or jogging, up the bike path heading east, return back across the ridge, and come down the stairs. If you have any questions or concerns or last minute cancellations, please contact me directly via phone or text. | |||||||
