Due to public health guidelines, each tour will be limited to two groups of no more than 10 people. Masks will be required and provided for all attendees. Call (216) 791-6476 to register.
The hikes are meant for beginners, but will include some inclines and uneven surfaces so please wear appropriate footwear.
To best prepare for this activity, here are some suggestions for winter warmth:- Always layer up!
- Best fabrics – wool, synthetic blends (polyester, fleece), cashmere
- Worst fabrics – cotton/flannel (Cotton holds water and dries slowly.)
What to Wear:- Base Layer [top] – Long sleeve t-shirt or long john undershirt or turtleneck
- Base Layer [bottom] – Leggings or long john underpants
- Middle Layer [top] – Sweater, sweatshirt, or hoodie
- Middle Layer [bottom] – Water-resistant outdoor pants (Jeans are ok if worn with a base layer.)
- Outer Layer – Water-resistant outdoor puffy jacket/coat (preferably hooded and fleece-lined)
- Socks – Wool boot socks (or 2 pair of polyester/synthetic blend)
