Summit Older Bushwhackers (SOBs)
Tuesdays, 8:30 AM | June – Mid October
Summit Older Bushwhackers (SOBs) do intermediate backcountry trail hikes on Tuesdays, mostly in Summit County. These typically range from 4 – 7 miles and with 400 – 1500 ft of elevation gain. They are led by volunteer trip leaders, usually a different leader each week. We meet from June through mid October, weather permitting. We usually leave the car-pool location at 8:30 and are back between 12 and (rarely) 2 pm. For more information, call Jim Fleshman at 281-507-1059 or email rjftex@gmail.com.
