Itinerary:

We will hike the perimeter trail of the Gold Branch unit in the CRNRA. A good part of the hike will be along the river. The terrain is rocky/rooty in many places but the elevation changes are not too big. We will maintain a pace of around 2.5 mph and complete the hike in well under 2 hours.

There are no restrooms at this location and parking requires a National Parks pass ($5 daily pass or $40 annual pass or America the Beautiful pass).

Please arrive 10 mins early for socializing/introductions so that we can start on time.
