Description:

In response to Covid-19 a number of changes have been as we restart hikes on a limited, trial basis. All hikes are limited to a 10 person max, members only, and no fees are being collected. Social distancing will be maintained. Everyone is required to carry a face covering and know how to us it properly. Carry hand sanitizer. More information is available on the website.
 
If you meet someone going your way, excuse yourself and pass. If someone is coming the other way and doesn't get over, then step aside and face the woods. The flowers are great. You don't have to wear a mask if nobody is within 50 yards.

I.do plan going to the top. Again, stay apart there, and we will start down in a staggered fashion, since we will meet some coming up. There is actually more room on the steps than there is on many parts of the lower trail.
 If you don't feel well, please don't come

Trip Report

Georgous day, perfect hiking weather. Our group is following all Obsidian protocols - good thing as not all Spencer hikers are wearing masks. Our 8:30 start time worked OK the trail started to get busy towards the end so a later time is not recommended.
