Nihahi canyon - OT4 and fire picnic after!

This will be a slow and steady pace hike so if you want to go fast or go ahead of the group, this hike is not suitable for you. We will also be doing a picnic after the hike at forget-me-not pond. I will bring some firewood and look to see if some others can bring them. Please leave a comment.
