for dam demolition, and upon the construction completed this spring, trails on the impacted sections are reconnected. It will take about
2 hours, with a couple of uphills for a total of 600 ft. elevation. Please wear sturdy hiking shoes, bring water, snacks and a hiking pole if
needed.

crossing, and lots of rhododendrons. Bring lunch, snacks and water, good hiking shoes, and dress in layers.
