Rusty Trail Hike – Hit the Trail (BACK TO SATURDAY @ 9am)

Join us for a troop favorite hike on the "Rusty Trail" so named for the rusty mining implements left on the mountain.  This is NOT an easy Hike, but the views make the entire voyage worthwhile, and we have our youngest Trailmen (Foxes) make this trip every single year.  This 6 mile round trip (there and back) hike is doable for boys and dads of all ages.

We see this as a great prep for Backpacking and encourage our Trailmen to bring a Backpacking backpack.

What to bring: flashlight, backpack, snacks, water, appropriate apparel for hiking based on the weather conditions for that day
Approx. Distance: 7 miles
What to put in backpack
Foxes: flashlight, compass (required for learning how to shoot azimuths), map, food, water, jacket (total weight should be approx.5 lbs)
Hawks: flashlight, compass (required for learning how to shoot azimuths), map, food, water, jacket, sleeping bag (total weight should be approx.10 lbs)
Mountain Lions: flashlight, compass (required for learning how to shoot azimuths), map, food, water, pants, jacket, sleeping bag, sandals (total weight should be approx.15-20 lbs)
