About this event

Early Risers Hike: Gateway Loop, Saturday, Nov 14 at 6:30am Our next Early Risers hike is here, and we’re exploring a new trail this time: the Gateway Loop. *Look for Henry in the bright orange shirt

About 2 hrs round trip, moderate difficulty, with some of the best views in the Valley. It’s a great trail for actually talking to people while you move instead of just nodding and passing them.

We’ll meet at the trailhead a few minutes before 6:30am so we can get moving together as one group. The sun is coming up a bit later now, so we’re starting a little later too. No rush, no race, we go at a pace where conversation is easy the whole way.

What to bring:

• Water. More than you think you need.

• Real shoes. Trail runners or hiking shoes, not sandals.

• Sunscreen and a hat.

• A little bit of curiosity. That’s really the only requirement.

*

What to expect: Just people. Good conversation, good views, no pressure, no pitch, no program. You’ll meet a few people, maybe make a friend, maybe just get a great workout in before the rest of your Saturday starts. Either way, worth it.

How to RSVP: Hit the RSVP button above. Spots aren’t limited, but knowing headcount helps us plan. If your plans change, just update your RSVP so we know who’s actually showing up. See you on the trail.
