HIKE CHANGE NOTICE
Change Notice Sent By: Karen Rivard
Original Hike: Oat – Hay Canyons To Bottom Long
What Has Changed: Hike leader has some knee issues. New hike is about a mile shorter with much less elevation gain so Seven Springs is a good alternative. Same parking area.
Variation: Preview done on 7/25/24. Bring bug repellant as biting horse flies encountered. Rain gear a must as there is always a possibility of a shower.
Highlights: Stream through open green valley lined by pines and sandstone cliffs. Wildflowers and fish.
Cautions: Cattle graze in the riparian area so beware the many cow pies.
