Don't let the early sunset keep you indoors. Keep up your fitness and have fun! Let's take a hike around Lone Mountain, then head over to Aces and Ales for "Geeks Who Drink Trivia Night"(https://www.geekswhodrink.com/venues/159489585/).
This will be an easy, moderately paced hike. We will do 2 loops counterclockwise around the mountain. We start promptly at 5pm so please arrive 5-10 minutes before. If you can’t make it in time for the first loop, we are usually circling back to start the second loop around 5:45 PM. The trail is flat with little elevation. Please don't worry about your speed on the hike. The pace is social. The route is a loop so you can't get lost. There is some lighting in the area, but please bring a flashlight or headlamp for safety.
After the hike, most of us we will attend a Trivia Night. Please don't worry about being "good at trivia". The questions are very diverse so anyone can have the answers. The most important thing is we are here to have fun!
Meeting Locations:
The hike is at Lone Mountain Discovery Park. There are many places to park your vehicle so it can be a bit confusing. We will meet at the parking lot just south of the equestrian center. The entrance is at the intersection of Jensen St. and Helena Ave.
Please take a look at the photos section of this event. I have uploaded a map with a red line around the parking lot where we will meet.
If you are using the Meetup app on your phone, there is a Location section that opens the map on your phone. That should direct you to the correct meeting location.
Trivia night is at Aces and Ales, 2801 N Tenaya Way, Las Vegas.
Nearest major cross streets are Cheyenne and Tenaya.
