THE HIKE/WALK

ELEVATION GAIN: minimal....very small up and down hills at some of the trail changes.

TIME: approx 3+hours....depends on the pace & stops.

INFO:
We will start off with a short walk just past the information area then return to the parking to continue along the dike toward the Vedder River for a quick view then onwards until we reach Peach Creek Trail. We will continue on this trail until we get to the dike along the river again and walk to along the dike to the Tower Trail.
