This will be a casual paced hike to beautiful Spider Meadows. The flowers should be in full bloom. This hike is not difficult, but it is long. Please make sure you are in physical condition to hike 11 miles. There are multiple creek crossings that should not be a problem, however your feet may get wet. Plan to spend 45 minutes to an hour for lunch enjoying the meadow we worked so hard to get to. There will time for rest stops and pictures.
Plan for a stop after the hike for a bite to eat.
