Monday Night Hike Donut Falls BCC
Details
This is a Snowshoe Hike Series (if there is enough snow). The following is generic information about our snowshoe hikes:
- Please meet on time or contact us so we know you are coming
- Dress in Layers with options for really cold if needed.
- Bring water and snacks
- Stay in groups and communicate with those in your group.
- Winter Hiking is the best! I hope you like it too.
- When snowshoes are not needed, we usually need spikes. Come prepared.
I have extra snow shoes. If you want to borrow a pair, request it in the comments. Via the comments I will post if all my supply is spoken for. Many places that sell snowshoes will rent them too. Some (if not most) will apply the cost of the rental to the purchase if you buy them. Check before and trust them (not me).
Specific Hike Detail:
Let's hike Donut Falls up Big Cottonwood Canyon. We likely will not need snowshoes, but spikes are recommended. As a winter hike, we park next to the canyon road and hike in. This doubles the length of the hike to 1.6 miles there and 1.6 back. Total of 3.2 miles. I plan to hike up and into the falls. However, some may wish to follow the warning signs and not hike the last bit (maybe the last bit is in addition to the miles provided).

We should finish before 9pm which will get us back to the park and ride before 10pm. Feel free to make suggestions or offer to lead a hike on a particular hike to the adult play ground or to one or more of the lakes or what ever you think would be great.
If you want to participate in an after party, please make a comment or message me. I think it would be a good idea to create a separate event we can call the after party. This is not my thing, so I will wait for someone else to take the lead on that (see below).
Help Wanted!
The help I think we need is:
- Participation: I can post and participate. I can even lead us on trails. However, I don't know the trails like many of you. I can do my best to lead to a particular area, however, it may not be perfect. I know I can keep a group safe and get them back to the cars. However, maybe some of you can help guild us so we hike where we intend?
- After Hike Social: Many groups like to meet after and socialize. This is not my specialty. If you are interested in meeting up after, you can post a comment to invite others or you can create a separate event. If you want to post a separate event but you're not an organizer, let me know know and we can either make you an organizer or I can post it for you.
- It would be great if some of you would become organizers and help lead some of these hikes. I only know so many hikes (and they are limited too). I mostly followed the group when it came to winter hikes. I would love to follow you. I am willing to help in any way!
