December 18th: Mt St Helena (To the Top!)
Saturday December 18, 2021
8:30am
Robert Louis Stevenson State Park
New Year’s resolutions are kind of arbitrary, right? And a real racket for gym membership dues. We figure that if Christmas decorations are sold before Halloween is over, and trees are going up before Thanksgiving is done, then we’re quite entitled to push fitness goals down the calendar a bit.
Whatever your goals or motivations we welcome you to start with the micro-decision to join us on one of our “endurance” hikes this December. We’ll be hiking to the top of Mt. Saint Helena. Yep. 10 miles total. But we’ll also have a guided option of a route half-way to the top. 5 miles. Not bad. Good, in fact.
This will also be a good primer for our endurance hikes in 2022. On these hikes our naturalists will be sucking air like everyone else so there will be less explanation and more of a focus on, well, getting through it together.
We plan to start early (8:30am) since parking is limited at the Robert Louis Stevenson SP lot, and because the hike will be longer. Note that there are no restrooms at the trailhead. Plan to bring a lunch, and/or plenty of snacks, and water. Your charging station will be whatever you bring along in your backpack.
Though we encourage anyone to join this hike, please still consider your own limitations or abilities. We’ll have plenty of other hikes of varying lengths on the slate for next year!
