Hike Description
There will be a 2.5 mile, 3.5 mile, and 5 mile option. I will announce where the turns are for each option. The full length will follow the East & West Trail loops. We will hike at a 2.5-3 mile per hour pace. We will depart at 10:15 with whoever has arrived. The route will consists of mainly crushed gravel trails. This hike is mostly flat with very long gradual inclines and declines. This hike is mostly along prairie terrain, so there is very little shade. However, there is plenty of water because of the reservoir. I would classify this is as a beginner hike.
