White Oak Canyon and Cedar Run Loop (Rating: A)

You must read the following NVHC Sign-in Sheet Statement/Liability Disclaimer, https://nvhc.com/signin.pdf and then answer the question that you will see when you RSVP with "I accept" to be permitted on the hike.

This is an 8.3 mile loop hike with around a 2,300 elevation gain. We will hike it in the counterclockwise direction going up White Oak Canyon and coming down Cedar Run. The trails here can be steep and challenging but that's the price we'll have to pay for the views and waterfalls. We'll be hiking at a 2-2.5 MPH pace slowing down for the inclines and photo ops.
