Itinerary:

Let's hike Island Ford! Island Ford is one of our favorites of the CNRA units. This hike includes warm up hill, walk along the river, lollipop, and the interior which has some hills. Several short breaks during our hike. Recent D2+ experience to join the hike. Not for beginners.

We will meet at the first parking lot on left, no bathrooms here so plan ahead.

As always, please arrive at least 10 minutes early for introductions giving us an on time start for the hike.

Parking pass required. $5 for daily parking here if you don't have a pass. More details: https://www.nps.gov/chat/planyour visit/fees.htm
