We will hike to the falls and the reservoir and enjoy fresh air and nice views. There will be short stops for snacks and water, but otherwise, we will try to keep pace.

We will meet at the visitors’/office building near the main parking lot around 10 am and start hiking at 10:15 am. I plan to finish the hike around 1 pm.
