Itinerary:

This is a great hike for beginners of for folks who want to take the trails at a comfortable pace just because.  The trails are not too long, and definitely not too strenuous.  For experienced hikers, it's a nice way to stretch your legs in preparation for the more strenuous weekend events. 

We will likely finish before one o'clock, but I'm putting that as the "outside" time.  Depending on our route, we'll go between 2.5 to 4 miles.  

I haven't been to Johnson Ferry North in a great while, so I'm not sure what shape the trails are in.  Be prepared for adventure!

There are bathrooms at this location . . . always a nice amenity.  But there's also that $3 parking fee, since this is one of the CNRA units.
