Bill Tennant (Willyten10@aol.com or 282-0590) Here’s a new one for us. This isn’t the old lung buster that had all that climbing at the end. This will combine several old roads and trails and we’ll hike 10.8 miles around Hazel Mountain without having to hike all the way down off the Skyline Drive ridgeline. It should be about 1500 feet of elevation with no major climbs. We’ll visit a waterfall, cross Hazel River a few times (water should be low) and enjoy a nice walk in the woods on a winter day. NOTE: THIS IS NOT A BEGINNERS HIKE. IT HAS TWO NOT STEEP BUT FAIRLY LONG ASCENTS AND SEVERAL ROCK HOPPING WATER CROSSINGS. ALSO, WITH THE DECEMBER SHORT DAYS THE PACE WILL BE A LITTLE FASTER THAN "LEISURELY STROLL".Contact Bill for time and location.
