Let's get our legs warmed up for bigger weekend hikes. Come join a quick 4-5 mile hike at Paris Mountain State Park after work hours. The goal of the hike is to get in shape and train for longer hikes, so this one will move at an average pace of 3.0 miles per hour.

Consider it a cardio workout that beats going to the gym. We don't take breaks or take in views. We keep moving, so please be sure that you're able to keep up with the group and hike leader. This hike will start at the Sulphur Springs trailhead near Shelter #6.
