 Winter 2024 Hike Dates

During the winter months, I recommend dressing in layers so you can adjust your clothes to the weather conditions. Hiking poles, a warm drink, snacks, warm gloves & hat and good winter boots (with spikes if you wish) are recommended.  

Please contact David if you have any questions regarding the hikes. If you plan on attending a hike, please RSVP with your email and cell number so that David knows the number of participants and can contact you if necessary about any changes to the hike.
