Training

Treks are physically demanding.

Participants should be physically fit enough to safely hike the distances involved, unless they have a limiting disability. Each person should be able to walk three miles on level ground in 60 minutes or less without undue stress. Taking practice hikes and preparing to walk uphill will also be beneficial. Many participants will benefit from improving their physical fitness before a trek. 

Walking Schedule

Day 1-   7 miles - Mostly flat

Day 2 -   3 miles - Rolling with hills

Day 3-    2 1/2 miles - Steepest hills
