Itinerary:

Join me for an hike after work - I moved up the time to 5:30 pm so we can be sure to finish before dark. We will go at a moderarate pace - please be sure you are comfortable going around a 2.5 mph pace.

I plan on going in a counterclockwise direction with a spur going down past the ruins (to bamboo forest) and back. We will then finish our loop along the river. This does mean we go up the stairs!

There are no restrooms at the Park.

Required Items to Bring:

Water, snack, and Good Hiking Shoes.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.

Hiking sticks or pole.
