Join us for this amazing day hike! The trail leads to a waterfall with option to go to the bottom or top of the falls. The terrain is gorgeous here and changes throughout the whole hike (there will be some stream crossings and an opportunity to use a rope repel). We’ll hike out early, eat lunch by the falls (and swim if you choose!), and then head back to campus with enough time for you to enjoy your evening and night!
