7:30am at the Sky Country Trailhead
Expect this to take about 4 hours - depending on group pace - so please do not have early afternoon plans you need to rush back to. We'll be aiming for 2.0 - 2.2 on the flat/downhill portion and 1.5 - 1.75 on the inclines, actual pace to be determined by the group. We will not leave anyone behind!
The waterfalls could be lackluster depending on water but this is a fun route, with ups and downs. We'll take a 5 minute snack break at the Far Country Lookout.
Potential post-hike social/parking lot picnic.
