Description

This will be a figure-eight hike on Dewdrop Range providing fine views.   You can bring traction devices if you like, but it should be good hiking.

 

We have been hiking/snowshoeing on Wednesday mornings for a few years now and we will continue to do so for the winter – early spring of 2018 – 2019.

  • most outings will be at 10:00 for a meet-up and carpool, but each week will be a different trail/route
  • carpooling is planned
  • a lunch stop, often at the halfway point is the usual practice
  • final details will be confirmed about a week out when we have a weather forecast which affects driving conditions, parking access, and trail choice
  • once snows cover the region the outings will mostly be snowshoeing events, but if have some unseasonably mild weather, an on-the-snow trek may be a good choice
  • dress for the conditions and bring your 10 Essentials for winter conditions if the temperature drops
  • read the listing carefully to see if the outing is right for you
  • we will hike/snowshoe together for safety and for peace of mind

Wednesday Wanderings:

  • get out into the outdoors mid-week
  • exercise and fitness objectives (we will keep a steady pace without too many stops)
  • varied routes to show members new areas
  • a group outing with a group ambience, but low-key and informal
  • increasing challenges from late fall to late winter as fitness and endurance improves

If:

  • if it dry we will do a local hike of 2 – 2.5 hours
  • if it is wet and muddy – we will pick a shorter hike where mud is less likely
  • if it is snowy, we will pick a good on-the snow hike (2 – 3 hours)
  • if it is too cold (-15 or lower) , we will cancel
