NOTE: My hikes are more leisurely....with plenty of breaks for water and snacks....if you are fast hiker and wants to hike fast, or power hiker, this may not be the hike for you.

This is an interesting trail, various trails interconnected via gravel road, first well visit the Water fall trail, and then gold mine trail (ruins of old gold mine), then swamp land trail, and then if we still have the strength will go up the mountain trail to see the view of Mount Yonah.

Required Items to Bring:
Plenty of water (2 litters minimum). Good Hiking shoes. Trekking pole, youll be so glad. RAIN GEAR you might not need it, but when the rain comes youll be so glad you have one. Backpack would be better than a small fanny pack. Try to dress warm in layers. Please DONOT forget your lunch and water. 		Recommended Items to Bring:
