These are Moderate Adventures

These adventures have some decent elevation gain and are considered moderate. Don't expect a flat trek around a lake, but these are also not vigorous hikes with multiple switchbacks, climbing thousands of feet.

These adventures will provide you with a good workout and you will be rewarded with gorgeous views and a sense of accomplishment!
