Fitness Hike- Bobcat Ridge

Weight (to be carried): Lite (5-10 lbs) 

Pace: Quick (3.0-3.5 MPH) 

Distance: Moderate (5-7 Miles) 

Cost: $10 (Cash, please) 

Bring: 

Weather appropriate clothing, layers 

Hiking boots or heavy tread trail runners (gaiters or traction system recommended when snowy or icy) 

Backpack or weighted vest 

Water (2-4 Liters) 

Sunscreen 

First Aid kit 

Gallon size zip lock (for trash, if we make any or find any) 

Other-anything else you may need to be prepared to be outside, on trail for a couple of hours. 

What to Expect: 

5:30 a.m. Meet @ Trailhead 

We'll start with introductions and set intentions. 

I'll lead an energizing breathing technique and then a dynamic warm-up, using mini-bands (I'll have a bunch, but bring them if you have some). 

We'll hike to a designated turn-around, stop and admire the view. 

Upon descending, I encourage taking silence in a reflective hike back to the trailhead parking lot. 

We'll have an opportunity to share during a cool-down stretch. 

Adults only, please. This hike is intended for fitness- the pace will be quick and breaks will be limited. 

Dogs are NOT allowed at Bobcat Ridge Natural Area.
