Cole Trusty will lead the walk on Saturday, Jan. 12.  It will be about 6 miles with about 500 feet elevation gain.  We will meet at Wilson High School and walk on parts of SW Trails 6, 3, 7 and 1 and some parts of the soon to be constructed Red Electric Trail.  The walk is steep in places and has some muddy downhill sections.  Bring clippers to remove a few overhanging branches.  It will be a very interesting and somewhat challenging hike.

Bring a snack and water and dress for the weather.  Well behaved dogs are allowed.  They must be on leash.  For health reasons, there is no smoking on SW Trails hikes.  Meet behind the bleachers at Wilson High School and be ready to leave at 9:00 am.
