Itinerary:

Car Pool will leave Indian trail at 9:00 AM. Please arrive about 10 minutes prior for Carpool organzation and introductions. There is limited Parking at Panther Creek on weekends. Please Carpool!

Join us on this summertime favorite only a little over an hour away. There aren't any stressful elevation changes but there are some scrambling spots that can be slippery, so please bring footwear that can handle light scrambling. We'll spend about an hour at the waterfall for some swimming  and lunch. We'll be taking the same trail back to the parking lot for an afternoon departure back to the carpool location.

There is a $4 parking fee per vehicle if you park at the trail head parking lot. There are a couple of free parking spots on the side of the road near the trail head, but I never count on those being available.

Note: Due to the light scrambling and wet conditions I'd prefer it if you have previous D3 experience. This is for your own safety. Thanks! Thank you John Stirman and Thomas W for the write up and photo.
