What we will do:
We’ll step off from the Rock Creek Campground, heading up, down and around for 2.2 miles then 1/4 mile downhill to Alley Ford which has a sandy beach suitable for camping. We will take a break here then return back along the same route, for a total distance of 5 miles.
Next, drive over the Emory River and follow a trail from the Nemo Picnic Area for 1.3 miles each way. The trail follows the river and passes both current and abandoned railroad tunnels ending at the confluence of the Obed and Emory Rivers.
Then we go to a local brewery for brew and food.
