Plan to arrive by 8 a.m. The event kicks off at 8:30 a.m. with announcements and a blessing. We start out together, but you'll hike at your own pace. Choose a 4.4-mile route that includes a moderate climb to a scenic overlook that loops back onto the main trail, or take a shorter 1.6-mile route for an easy, flat stroll. Combine both trails for a 6-mile excursion. Trail monitors will be positioned along all routes to help guide the way. Click here for trail information.
A complimentary barbecue lunch, sponsored by MCE Corp., will be served at our staging grounds at the Fiesta Grande Picnic Area at about 11 a.m.
Parking is included with your registration fee; a link to download your parking permit will be provided in your registration confirmation email; print out the permit and bring to the park (mobile screenshots are not accepted).
