Itinerary:

We will follow Mulberry Creek through a shaded forest and cross the Creek on stones 18 times.

If the creek happens to be high, we might even get our feet wet -- which we may want to do anyway to enjoy a cold water treatment for our feet and ankles.

The Creek hike is a "lariet" through the Hyde Farm County Park with the "noose" in Johnson Ferry North.

After the creek and a river walk, we will stop at the restrooms and then make our way through the Hyde Farm which dates to the 1830s and then over to look upward at Morgan Falls dam.

Terrain: rugged creek banks and stepping stones; bird area with high grass and overgrowth

Pace: Faster end of Moderate -- up to 3.0 mph avg. with 60% up to 3.3-3.7mph

water to stay hydrated for 1.5 hours on a hot day
