This group is for those who enjoy long, tough hikes. We organize our own, unsupported hikes as well as take advantage of ultra-hikes that are organized by others. While not a trail-running group, this group hikes fast. There are other groups in the area for novice hikers and those more interested in moderate length & difficulty hikes.
