Description
Today we will walk north bound on the main trail starting at Pretty River Rd. Where the trail crosses 6th side rd we will head west for 500 meters to pick up the Russ McConnell Side Trail south bound. We will re- join the main trail where these trails again intersect. A short while later we will then follow the Pretty River Side Trail to where it again intersects with the main trail. We will then follow the main trail back to Pretty River Road where we will head east back to the parking lot.
Please be prepared for the weather, we will hike rain or shine. Ensure you have enough water, lunch and snacks, sunscreen and bug repellent. Hats and sunglasses are recommended as are poles and sturdy shoes.
