This is designated as a ‘Go-Getter’ hike because CHS 1 mileage is 8-10 miles in June and this hike is ~11.5 miles. Please be sure you are OK with this when signing up!

We'll hike as far as the gravel bar at the confluence of Falls Creek and Ingalls Creek where we’ll enjoy our lunch. Weather permitting, we will have views of the south side Stuart Range (aka Enchantments) and a waterfall or two at our turnaround point.

Meeting time and place will depend on participants’ originating locations. Carpool options will be provided. Plan is to be on the trail by 8:30 a.m.
