The hike will cover 3 miles along sections of the Metate and Spur Cross trails gaining roughly 300 ft over the course of the hike. Please note that you will be hiking in the dark so all hikers need to come prepared with a flashlight. In addition to a light source, hikers should have water, come pre hydrated, and wear closed toe shoes.
