Hey everyone! Sedona and Elaine are leading a (NOT HELLISH) day hike! We’re planning to find the hidden Devil’s Gulch waterfall, eat some lunch and take some pictures there on the way, and maybe hang out in the water for a bit! We’re going to meet at TroGro (the Starbucks next to Leavey library) at 8:30 and set out at 9:00, and will hopefully get to the trailhead at about 10:30 to start the hike! The trail itself is a little rocky and has a few stream crossings, make sure to bring sturdy hiking shoes/boots if you have them. The trip is about 4.5 miles each way and doesn’t have much elevation gain so it should be a nice walk through the Angles National Forest with lots of photo opportunities! We can’t wait to have you on our trip!
