Itinerary:

Awesome late February weather hike!!

Will will hike a number of trails in the park, making a brief stop at the paper mill ruins for a few photos. We will also be hiking down one of the quasi-trails along the bank of Sope Creek... there are some nice views of the creek along this trail, but it is a little rugged in points and you should be prepared to do a little bit of rock scrabling to cross over a few of the outcroppings near the creek.

A portion of this hike will be on a "quasi-trail" along the Sope Creek and will require a little rock hoping and scrambling over a few rock outcroppings, so please make sure your puppy is up for that if you are bringing them.
