Itinerary: | |||||||
Let's get on the trail with our best friends and tire them out for the day. We will follow the cement trail from the parking lot about half a mile, then when it makes a 90 degree left we will stay straight on the path following the river. We will ascend up the trail to the top of the bluffs (about 300' elevation) and continue to the landing up river where a nice beach area is to let the dogs swim. After spending 20-30 minutes letting them swim we will head back to the parking lot. Total hike is slightly over 4 miles and will take about 2.5 hours with our swim stop. | |||||||
