Itinerary:

Join me on this hike at the Sope Creek section of Cochran Shoals where we will hike about 6 miles. There are some nice and well-marked trails in this unit. We will try and visit the mill ruins, they make for some great pictures.

While this hike will be on the faster side of moderate, some parts of the trail are new to me, so there might be pauses at trail heads trying to figure out which route to take. It implies the distance we hike might be more or less around the estimated miles. What I do promise is a good workout!

We are meeting at the entrance that is along Paper Mill Road. You require 3 dollars cash for a daily park pass if you dont have an annual pass.
