Unless otherwise noted, the pace for hikes is moderate, lasting 3-5 hours, covering 3-5 miles, the terrain is hilly, footing is sometimes uneven, and we follow trails and possibly paved or dirt roads . Walks are easier and shorter than hikes, and usually follow paved or dirt roads, no trails. The guide may periodically stop and talk along the way.

Both hikes are easy to moderate. We will discuss the natural, historical, and cultural resources of the area. Long pants are recommended, due to brush. The sleepover will be at Boiler Bay.
