Our route

We’ll climb the steep and rocky Red Dot Trail, enjoy the beautiful summit views and descend via the Blue Blaze Trail. This route includes rock scrambling, uneven terrain and significant elevation gain, so it is best for physically active hikers.

What to bring

Hiking boots or shoes with excellent traction
At least two liters of water
Snacks or a light lunch
Layers suitable for changing weather
Sunscreen and any personal necessities
A positive attitude and love of adventure!

Please arrive by 8.45 AM so we can introduce ourselves and begin hiking promptly at 9 AM. Parking fills quickly on weekends, so early arrival is important.

Everyone participates at their own risk and is responsible for assessing their fitness and hiking ability. This is a social Meetup hike, not a professionally guided excursion. The hike may be postponed if rain or unsafe trail conditions are expected.

Come enjoy crisp air, beautiful scenery, great photographs and an unforgettable early-fall adventure with new friends! 🍂🥾📸
