Cost is $85 per person and includes lunch and all tasting room fees. Payment is by cash, check or VISA. A $20, non-refundable
deposit must be received at least a day before your hike.
The walk is just more than 6 miles over hilly terrain, mostly on steep, loose gravel roads. Elevation ranges
between 500 and 850 feet, with total climbing around 1500 feet. It should only be attempted by those in good physical condition
who walk or hike regularly.
Trail shoes or hiking boots are essential. Tennis shoes or sneakers will not provide adequate traction or protect your
feet from the rocky, uneven roads. Short portions of the walk are on roads with occasional traffic. Care must be exercised
on loose gravel especially on the steep descents.
If it rains, the walk is cancelled and payment refunded. However; this is up to you! Since I live here, I am quite used
to all kinds of outdoor activity in the rain, and, unless the weather is horrendous, we can walk if you wish.
What to bring.
Each person should carry a water bottle. A hat, sun block, sunglasses, personal items and of course, your camera, are
highly recommended. Dress for the weather. Check a local forecast the night before your walk. Summer temperatures are usually
in the low 80s and quite comfortable, however; we do get a few hot days in the 90's and several days around 100! Rainy
days are typically cool, with temps around 70.
Schedule:
Walks are Thursday, Friday and Saturday, May 24 through October, weather permitting.
Meet at The Maresh Red Barn between 11:00 and 11:30am. Park under the walnut trees at the driveway entrance. See the
map page for more details on location.
