How much walking is there?

The walk is leisurely, and fairly flat, except for one challenging hill that is optional. We recommend good walking shoes, and layered clothing for varying weather conditions.

What shall I bring with me?

Along with good walking shoes and layered clothing, you definitely need to bring a camera. There will be so many scenic spots and team photo opportunities that you will regret not capturing all that you will see and enjoy. We also recommend bottled water.

What happens if it rains?

Dry weather is optimum for everyone's enjoyment, but we will hunt, rain or shine.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept cash, checks, or online credit card payments.
