Moore Cove Falls +; a Saunter

John Muir didn’t like the word ‘hike’. “We ought to saunter through them reverently, not 'hike' through them.”

THIS IS A DOG-PARTICIPANT HIKE. This event is NOT for those who are uncomfortable with the antics of fun-loving dogs.
Well trained dogs (you don’t have to yell) can be 'off-leash'.
