We do this hike every year at about this time.

• a steeper hike up the northeast ridge of Mount Mara, then a traverse to the viewpoint and back
• lots of off-trail sections, relying on good boots, strong ankles, and self-sufficient hikers; poles recommended
• article on the route – Mara North Highlights
• tick season, but also wildflower season
• participants must be fit enough to stay with the group since there are almost no trails to follow
• lunch at the viewpoint
• dress and prepare for the weather
• Participants must be well-prepared, as noted in KHC Guidelines and Expectations; leaders retain the right to refuse registration from anyone who is not in compliance with the listed expectations (please read)
• carpool to the trailhead at the end of the (rough) Pruden Pass Road
• co-leaders/apprentices – contact me and I will reserve spots
• thanks to Sheila Powell for co-leading this one
