Junction Falls

This out and back hike is an easy hike with a low elevation. The walk begins with a creek crossing then through the forest. Women's rubber boots with garbage bags will probably be OK as the water level is mid calf. Water shoes, poles and a towel might be a good idea.

This trip will be weather dependent. Please check the website the morning of the trip to make sure it has not been cancelled.
