Mark your calendar for June 1st and 2nd 2013.
Usually admission is free, with the donation of canned food items. There is usually a small volksmarch fee (about $3).
This is a very popular event and parking can be far from the starting point. There are usually shuttles to take you to and from the parking areas.
The trail is over 6 miles round trip and there is a 500 foot change in elevation. There are water stations along the trail. No pets are allowed.
