Nancy Rumple led the Long hikers among the Redwoods on a 9-mile hike with a 1200-ft. elevation gain up the Lost Empire Trail to the large Redwood tree Big Ben and then down the Big Ben trail. The Ramblers did a 5 mile loop with a 1000-ft elevation gain. The long hikers passed the Barrel Mill site and both groups visited the Lime Kiln area as they looped back.
