Dupuis Wildlife Management Area 11 or 15-Mile Hike

***NOTE: As the temperature and humidity start to climb, we may need to make our return at Loop 3/4 crossover for an 11-mile hike. Otherwise, we will continue on and complete all four loops for a 15-mile hike.***

***We will hike at a moderate pace*** to loop 4 campsites or Loop 3/4 crossover, where we will take a break to cool down and have a snack/lunch. After the break, we will hike back to our cars. It is going to be hot and physically challenging, but a lot of fun too.

*****Expect to encounter overgrown vegetation, mud and standing water on this hike*****

***Let’s meet at 7:00AM at the Governor’s House*** ***(“Day Use Picnic Area”)***, which is about 1.5 miles straight on the dirt road after turning into Gate 1 and going past the Hunter’s Check Point. ***We will start hiking no later than 7:15AM.***

The hike will around 15-Mile hike of strenuous difficulty, so you know what to bring, plenty of water (3 Liters), snacks, etc. to hold you over for a day hike.

***There is an option to do just a 6-Mile loop with Gloria for those that don’t want to hike the 15-Mile loop, but still want to enjoy the trail.***
