Laurel Falls 10.16.18

WELCOME BACK NANCY!  Our snowbird Nancy is back and she led this hike!  After several head counts we determined that we had a very large group of 19!  The day was overcast and we were a little worried about rain, but all we got was a couple of drops about midway through the hike.  This hike was rated as easy-moderate.  The moderate part was the distance and that we had to crawl through a hole in some rocks to continue on the trail.  When we reached Laurel Falls it was flowing nicely and everyone sat on one of the large rocks and had a snack.  The rain held off until we were comfortable eating our lunch.  This hike was a total of 5.4 miles and lasted just about 4 hours.  Following the hike, most of the hikers had a nice lunch meal at the Screen Door in Dayton.  If you would like to see a lot of pictures including a map and altitude graph, click here.  Thank you John P. for contributing some of the pictures.
