This isn’t your cruisy Sunday stroll… it’s a heart-rate-raising, sweat-inducing adventure built to boost endurance and cardiovascular health.
Our regulars love this one - it’s raw, real, and rewarding. If you’re someone who thrives on a good workout and enjoys earning that post-hike coffee (and bragging rights), this hike’s for you.
