**Hike along White's Creek in Galena Creek Rec Area

Let's hike this again, on an early summer weekend.
Galena Creek National Recreation Area offers many trails of various lengths, elevations and altitudes. One of our favorite moderately-paced walks is along Upper White's Creek , an out-back (approx. 1.5 miles each way= 3 Round Trip) (or continuing up to Dry Pond for the more energetic 2.1 x2=4.2). Some elevation gain is involved, rising from approx. 6200 to 6600 ft. However, this scenic hike will take a leisurely pace with breaks. https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/2/c/3/600_463032995.jpeg
