Bring: Sturdy hiking shoes required, the trail is rocky. We may need to ford the stream several times (less than knee deep), so a pair of flip flops or waders helps. Bring a day pack with camera, pack a lunch and at least two liters of water, personal medications, rain gear and insect repellent and sun screen. A change of dry clothes (dry shoes socks underwear, pants shirt) is recommended. We can leave those in the car, but it makes the trip home a lot more comfortable. Prepare for rain, blistering heat, and a cold windy day. There is likely to be no cell phone service in the canyon.
Additional Directions: Rendezvous at the parking area near the CheatFest Campground just north of Albright off Rt. 26.
Carpool: We may set up a shuttle from the Bull Run Road near Mt. Nebo
Note: Carpool transportation is at the sole risk of the participants.
Cancellation Policy: Activity is held rain or shine, but may be altered due to inclement weather
