Transportation Information

Most any car with a hatchback or bigger will be fine. Small cars with trunks may struggle on gravel, and there is a very short section where they might bottom out on the potholes. My Toyota Rav4 handles the roads just fine.

You will need the physical stamina to hike off trail, crossing logs, ducking brush, and handle a 200 foot elevation gain.

Additional details and contact info will be shared as the event draws closer.
