Itinerary:

This is an exploratory hike for me since I've never been. We have several options for trails in which to explore. Head out for a day exploring the ridges, waterfalls and river in beautiful DeSoto State Park in northeast Alabama. The park sits atop Lookout Mountain (1,750 feet average) and along the Little River. Once we are done hiking we can drive up to desota falls. Afterwards head for dinner somewhere in town.

Below are the trails I wish to accomplish:

Rhododendron Trail , DeSoto Scout Trail, Lost Falls Trail.

Hiking shoes, water, snacks, any optional hiking gear needed by you.

Carpool Cost:

Estimated cost per vehicle for this event is $72.00 using a reimbursement rate guideline of $0.400 per mile. The total amount should be divided by the number of people in the vehicle, including the driver. This is a guideline, not a rule, for drivers but the cost should not be higher unless there are extenuating circumstances.
