Itinerary:

Let's hike Gold Branch!  This is pretty area near the lake formed by Morgan Falls Dam. We will hike most of the trails during our seven miles and will get some decent elevation too.

Gold Branch has many rocks and roots, so not for beginners.  Recent D2+ experience to join the fun. We will start promptly so plan to arrive a little early to check in and meet the group.

This is a CRNRA unit, there is a $5 parking fee unless you have an annual pass.  There are no bathroom facilities at this unit so plan accordingly.  


Required Items to Bring:

Hiking boots.

Water

Recommended Items to Bring:
