Description
Beginners & Backpackers Hikes are designed for new hikers (or those just getting back into it) and backpackers who want to start “practicing” with partially loaded packs. These hikes will be at a slower pace, with lots of breaks and generally easy terrain, building up to harder hikes as the season progresses. If your a new hiker, bring your 10 essentials. If your a backpacker, bring a partially loaded pack 15 to 20 lbs. (or more) to start. Please comment if you are a beginner or a backpacker.
We will be hiking the Barnes Lake Trails in Barnhartvale. These are easy to moderate trails with some hills. We will be going at a slower paced hike, taking lots of breaks. Depending on the trails we take it will be between 7 to 9 km, with the option to shorten it up depending on how the group is feeling.
Meet at Market Fresh Foods in Dallas for 11 am, leaving by 11:10 am. From there we will carpool the short drive to the trailhead. (approx. $2 to $3 if you carpool)
Bring water, lunch and dress for the weather. There may be muddy sections on the trail and the ticks are out.
4 dogs maximum, please comment if you are bringing your dog. These trails are shared with horses and dogs must be leashed if we encounter any horses.
