Description

Start spring off right with this pretty hike through the Rocklyn Creek valley.  There are many attractive features on this hike, including a boardwalk over the creek, old growth trees, many intriguing crevices, cascading rapids and scenic views to the north.  There are several steep inclines and there may be residual ice at this time of year.  I will pre-hike this segment just prior to the hike date and will contact the hikers with recommendations re: footwear and need for crampons, etc. If you are unable to register, please call or text the leader at 519-590-0706.
