Itinerary:

This is a great hike for beginners of for folks who want to take the trails at a comfortable pace - - just because.  The trails are not too long, and definitely not too strenuous.  For experienced hikers, it's a nice way to stretch your legs after a strenuous weekend of hiking.  

We'll start in the official CNRA area, but venture along a path that leads to the Morgan Falls Dam.  Along the way, we'll cross a couple of big, short pipes.  Most folks can easily handle these, but an option is simply to descend a few feet into the creek bed to cross.  

We haven't been to Johnson Ferry North in a great while, so we're not sure what shape the trails are in.  Be prepared for adventure!

There ARE bathrooms at this location . . . always a nice amenity.  But there's also that $3 parking fee, since this is one of the CNRA units.  Your pass will work if you have one.
