The hike is moderately difficult with a few steep areas and a couple of small streams or gaps to traverse. All are welcome to join and take their time hiking. 

The meeting time is 2 p.m. but car poolers can meet at the District 4 Human Resources Development Council parking lot at 2229 Fifth Ave. to group up at 1:30 p.m. Otherwise, everyone is to meet at the trailhead at Bear Paw Lake at 2 p.m.
