Itinerary: | |||||||
This is not a hike for a beginner. To qualify, you must have:
1. recently (last 2 weeks) kept pace with a D2 group doing 3.0 mph and be willing to keep pace at 3.0 mph with the group on this hike.
2. recently (last 2 weeks) kept pace with a D2 group doing a 600 foot elevation gain hike
3. not fallen twice in the same day on a D2 hike
For this hike, we will accomplish -- Avg. Speed: 3.2 mph (Fast) Terrain: RUGGED; rugged creek banks and stepping stones with 18 creek crossings; bird area with wet grass and overgrowth Elevation Gain: 466 feet
We will follow Mulberry Creek through a shaded forest and cross the Creek on stones 18 times If the creek happens to be high, we might even get our feet wet. Normally, the Creek hike is a "lariet" through the Hyde Farm County Park with the "noose" in Johnson Ferry North of the CRNRA. However, temporarily, there is a construction fence obstacle so the lariot is currently a Y.
