Day trip to the beautiful Leslie Gulch area, including two trails, seeing the Owyhee River, and having a picnic.

**DOGS:** Controlled dogs off-leash. There are rattle snakes in this area.

**START TIME:** We start our events on time. Please arrive a little early and have everything ready to go (e.g., sunscreen applied, bag packed) before the start time.

**MEET:** Chevron at 5644 Buntrock Rd, Marsing, ID

**HIKE LEADER:** You can find Kirsten by her orange Subaru Crosstrek.

**HIKE:** We will do two hikes. We will explore part of [Juniper Gulch](https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/oregon/juniper-gulch-trail?mobileMap=false&ref=sidebar-static-map) for about 1m/160ft. Then we'll do [Dago Gulch](https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/oregon/dago-gulch), which is an easy 2.1m/235ft out and back hike.

**DIFFICULTY:** Moderate

**PACE:** Slow and steady: we will move at a comfortable pace while prioritizing the action of hiking with minimal pauses for photography and off-trail exploration.

**ACCESSIBILITY:** Not Accessible

**BRING:** Lots of water, picnic lunch, snacks, sun protection, toilet paper and/or kula cloth, waste bag, and other typical hiking gear. Also, I'd recommend bringing a camping chair to sit on during our picnic.

**CARPOOL:** Carpooling highly recommended as the drive out there is 2 hours and 15 minutes. Please coordinate carpooling in the comments section. If you are hitching a ride with someone, please give them money for gas and a carwash. ***NOTE: I'd recommend that carpool leaders have a vehicle with good clearance. The road through the canyon is gravel/dirt and isn't always in the best of shape.***

**BATHROOMS:** There is a vault toilet at the boat ramp. But I don't think there are toilets near the trailheads, so please come prepared to pop a squat in the outdoors!

**GROUP POLICY:** Prior to attending this event, please review our [group policy](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DZJE7Fl9u_McNC6U4Pv20Lt9Fo9vGaWs/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=109884339002938822241&rtpof=true&sd=true).
