These hikes are designed to get you ready for steeper and longer hikes as the season progresses.You may complete the challenge by hiking six of the buttes with the Hearty Soles, or hiking one or more with someone else and taking a picture of yourself at the top of the butte. You will submit the picture to Melodee Munckton at melodeem@gmail.com. At the end of season, those completing the challenge will receive a colorful bandana scarf with the year.
