Itinerary:

This is a scenic and relatively flat backpacking trip of 3.5 miles (one way) or 7 miles round-trip along Panther Creek. Once we reach the falls, we'll stop and set up our tents, eat lunch and enjoy a swim. We can do more hiking/backpacking if the group is up for it. It could be a busy day at the falls, so we'll want to set up our tents early to ensure a good spot! (We can't reserve a camp site in advance!)

Required Items to Bring:
Backpack, tent, sleeping gear, food, water, headlamp, hiking shoes/boots, swimsuit, water shoes, camera. Please don't bring valuables!

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
A great attitude and a desire to have some fun!
