Itinerary:

We plan to visit the mill ruins, Sibley Pond, and the cemetery, among other spots.

The terrain will have some roots and rocks, but it's not too rough. We will probably have about 600-700 feet of elevation gain during the hike. Our pace will be moderate, and we'll hike about 5-6 miles depending on the group.

We will meet at the trailhead at the Sope Creek parking lot. Please arrive 10 minutes early for socializing and introductions because we will be starting the hike on time.

There are no bathrooms at this trailhead, but there are bathrooms at the Columns Drive trailhead that we will pass a little later in the hike.

Please note that CRNRA locations require a $5 Daily Pass or a $40 Annual Pass, which can be purchased via your phone in the parking lot or online. America the Beautiful National Parks Passes also can be used at CRNRA parks.
