Penwood State Forest Advance hike.

This moderately challenging hike will be at a fast pace offering great views of the Farmington Valley. This hike is 6.3 miles long with 1024' of elevation gain with a fast pace of 25 minute miles. Everyone goes on the waitlist and I will interview people I do not know to make sure they are capable of completing this hike at this pace. It is very important to keep the group moving according to the hike description so everyone will have an enjoyable experience. Meet at 10;00 and hit the trail at 10:15.. Make sure you bring water and plenty of layers of clothing for changing weather conditions. If there is snow and ice on the ground then micro spikes are highly recommended. Event organizers are just responsible for leading the hike, they are not guides. Everyone should be prepared to take care of themselves. Please download the route on All trails in case you get separated from the group.
