RECOMMENDED: Comfortable hiking/sports shoes with good grip, a snack. It may be sunny so wear sunscreen and a hat if you have one.
HIKE WALKTHROUGH: We begin at the bottom of the Schabarum Park trail head. We will be going up hill with a good amount of gain for most of the hike. Expect most of the trail to have unshaded sections. We will have multiple stops along the way to help with some of the challenging, but short inclines (about 4 of them). As we have in the past, we will not hike the traverse the trail since it will lead us out another direction which may not be suitable for our hikers. However, we do get to the highest peak of the trail! You will get a great view of the surrounding cities. That’s what we consider the turn back point and head back down path we went up.
DOG-FRIENDLY?: Experience dogs only, on a leash.

MY FRIEND SAID I CAN DO THIS HIKE, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT, RIGHT?
Contrary to popular belief, you know your body and hiking experience better than your friends. Whether you are a first-timer or an experienced hiker, please read our hike details page as the hike may not suite your experience level. We have a better experience if every hike has hikers of the intended level.
