We will hike 2.4 miles roundtrip on easy to moderate grade, with mostly flat group except for a rocky 100ft incline on the Lykes Lookout portion of the hike. Please dress in layers, wear protective clothing and/or sunscreen, wear sturdy footwear, and carry ample water, electrolytes, and snacks for yourself.
