Itinerary:

Join us for a fun hike at Panther creek all the way (about 13 miles). We'll hike close to the river the whole time. There are a few steep inclines and rocky cliffs but for the most part it's a flat trail.

We will hike at a moderate to fast pace (that means between 2.5 and 3.0) depending on the trail condition. It's a very pretty trail and due to river it could be cold. There are some great vistas to explore and we will go past a few waterfalls.

THINGS TO BRING or WEAR:
1- fluids (your choice)
2- hiking boots / trail shoes, change of boots for in the car
3- non-cotton cloths in layers
4- poncho (just in case...)
5- Lunch
6- cash for gas (for your carpool driver)
7- towel to sit on for the ride back / sack for mucky boots
