**** A Note on Levels ****
*We're revising our level system to be more clear and useful!*
*(We've also gone and *STARRED* our super beginner-friendly trips for this
week!)*
*Level 0*. Total distance traversed is roughly equal to the distance
between parking and whatever cabin/diner/roller rink we're going to.* It's
about the destination, not the journey, alright?*
*Level 1*. More of a chill nature walk. *It's been a stressful week and you
just want to walk leisurely between some trees, okay?*
*Level 2. *Short hike, but uphill. More than a chill nature walk. *You want
to walk uphill and maybe sweat a little, is that too much to ask?*
*Level 3.* Longer hike, more uphill. *You could maybe get into this whole
hiking thing but you're maybe not interested in doing anything all that
crazy this weekend, y'know?*
*Level 4*. Longer hike, more uphill, significant elevation gain and you
might get above tree-line. *You're feeling pretty savvy and you want to bag
a bigger peak this weekend, cool?*
*Level 5*. Longest hikes we regularly run, major distances and elevation
gain. *Those AT thru hikers got nothin' on you, yeah!*
*Level 6+.* Prezi Traverse, Carter Traverse, anytime we carry a canoe up
something nonsensical. *Okay you might be a little crazy but look at those
calves, wow!*
