Note: This is an "EXPLORATORY" trip. This means that there are parts of this trip, or perhaps the whole trip, that is new to your Trip Leader(s). However, they are confident that this will not be an issue.
This note is here so that you can make an informed decision. When a Trip Leader isn't personally familiar with a trip, there is an increased chance of things not going as planned and you need to be prepared. The Trip Leader may have additional details in the itinerary.

Itinerary:

I am planning several *Hike ‘n Splash* hikes this summer. I have done a few last summer as participant. However, I have not yet led these kind of hikes, thus the designation “Exploratory”. Be assured that I prepare for those hike … maps, GPS, water filter, first aid kit, etc. If you have any suggestions for a nice *Hike ‘n Splash* destination, please let me know. All these hikes should be D3s, or an “easy” D4 … because I’d like the “not yet advanced", and/or new members of the AOC to enjoy a day of hiking at/to a river or waterfall without getting anxious or exhausted. Sounds good?

Please join me for a *Hike 'n Splash* to the Panther Creek Falls. Approximately 3.6 miles in = a total of 7.2 miles. We will follow a beautiful tumbling, cascading stream through a steep-sided valley with rocky cliffs to the dramatic and impressive Panther Creek Falls. The trail leads down to the pool for a grand view of the falling water and the large pool catching it. We will pause there for a two hour break before we head back.
