I know this is a late post of a trip but we have a few people that really have the time to hike over the Memorial weekend. This hike is loaded with falls,swimming holes and fishing. Plan on hiking 5 to 7 miles a day and bring your children if you would like. I have found a few links that are good for directions and descriptions. We will meet Friday night at the shelter which is a little under a mile into the trail I will try to get a copy of a map and post it here. Wanting to hike out early Monday so we all can enjoy some rest time before heading back to work on Tues.
