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.

Required Items to Bring:
Good Hiking Shoes
Water or sports drink

Recommended Items to Bring:
