Description:

Clare Tucker led this hike for 14 years, and this is the 5th Annual Hike in her memory. It is a beautiful trail in the woods followed by a volcanic section, more woods, then volcanic gravel and the 50 m (160 foot) vertical climb to the rim of the cones, where the four vents blasted out dust which was blown back.

It’s fall. Come prepared for anything. I’ve had clear days, rain, and snow on the rim.

Note departure time. Sun sets earlier in October, and days are significantly shorter.
Participants will manage their own transportation. Obsidian protocols for social distancing will be observed on the hike/ride. Refer to main website page for information.

Those who would like to learn a little about navigation and route finding, trail memory, this would be a good trip. I will have a GPS plus the Gaia app. and a map of the area.
