I know it`s Super Bowl Sunday, but what better way to work up an appetite than to hike five miles out at Crowders in the morning?

We`ll meet up at the Ranger Station before heading up the Pinnacle Trail to the peak. After regrouping, we`ll head back down to the Turnback Trail, to the Lake Trail and back to the parking lot. It should take just under two hours at a steady pace.

This is a moderate hike with a strenuous section at the end.

Dress accordingly, and bring water and a quick snack if you`d like. Dogs on a leash are welcome.
