Hone Quarry Shuttle: 6/24, 7/8, 8/26...

Service Description

June 24 July 8 Aug 26 Oct 21 What's this Hone Quarry area we speak of?? Most people have heard of the iconic Reddish Knob for its views and trails, but most people don't know that just down the road is another zone of local favorites. The Hone Quarry trails have steeper, shorter downhills and more technical sections than Reddish, but the climbs are easier. -Park at the main Hone Quarry Recreational area parking lot by 8:30am to be ready to go at 9:00. The shuttle leaves in cycles of about 1.5 hrs from the Hone Quarry parking lot; last shuttle at 4:00pm or 2hrs before dark, whichever is earlier. You can come later than 8:30am if you plan to miss the first lap, but you MUST contact us and let us know ahead of time, so we don't wait for you. -Please note that the shuttle won't run, and you'll be refunded if fewer than 7 people book for a specific date or if there is significant rain in the forecast. Cancellation notification will be made by noon the day prior to shuttle.
