Itinerary:

*Hike ‘n Splash* Hike # 3

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 and Shane 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.
