Hike coordinator Amber Garcia Haain
Narration by Amber Garcia Haain
This was a moderate hike of 8.5 miles with a 1140-foot elevation gain. Ten-plus hikers joined us, bringing with them all the fun! The sun eventually broke out the last half the hike, making this an even more pleasant journey. A somewhat unorthodox hike, some of us chose to get wet in the river, while someone else brought their mountain bike to use on this excursion. After having lunch behind Upper Trestle Creek Falls, we returned the way we came up, keeping right at junctions and ending our hike back at Cedar Creek Campground where we started.
This was such a nice introductory hike to lead. Comradery was high, and we all left with what Scott calls PHE – Post Hike Elation. I would be very pleased to lead more hikes and am researching places to bring to the next club meeting.
