Again we want to emphasize all HIKES are ONE WAY and Bike/Transit
friendly in the way their set up with great care to have multiple
routes serving start AND end points and with transit friendly returns
to the start points and you car or your home transit routes--so you
can really go green! Great care will be taken and we have at least
partial escorts or group returns to start points IF YOU DRIVE and

A small suggested donation of $10 will be asked to help defray costs
before your second tour.
