Description of Outing: We will hike the 3.8 mile loop. This trail is a shared trail: hikers, bikes and horses. During the week I expect low volume of use with an occasional horse or bike. The trail has a small elevation change. Much of the trail runs along a creek. There can be 8 possible water crossings depending on water levels. The trail is dirt and loose rock. Be on alert for the occasional horse dropping. The trail is quiet—very peaceful with the sounds of birds and the gently moving water. We will have a 2 mph pace.

Difficulty: Moderate with several short stops

• Group size limited to 12
• A $1 donation per person to the Sierra Club is requested
• Guns are prohibited. Dogs not allowed due to possibility of horses and bikers.
• Bring water and snacks for 2 hours.  Weather will be warm but the trail is well shaded. Hiking poles may be helpful for water crossings but the water should not be terribly deep. Spray for ticks and bugs as desired

Please RSVP on the EMG website.  A waiver is required and can be completed online.
