Friday hike at Brighton Rec (5-6 miles)

Get your weekend started with a hike! We leave at 5:30 sharp, so arrive a few minutes early. Cell service can be spotty at the trailhead, and I won't be available for last minute questions or directions; plan accordingly!
\State recreation passport required for entry into the park\

You'll need a headlamp for the latter portion of the hike

We'll be hiking various trails in the park starting from the trailhead parking. Some of the trails are narrow with thorny undergrowth, so dress accordingly! Distance between 5-6 miles. Pace will be moderately intense around 2.5-3mph with several stops along the way. Bring water. Hike will happen rain or shine, so bring rain gear if rain is in the forecast. Trail is shaded and goes through forests and wetlands with some steep hills. The surface is primarily dirt and sand with some roots and rocks. There is a pit toilet at the trailhead. Leashed, well-behaved dogs are welcome!
