Update: Weather forecast is not promising. I hope to make decision about canceling by Friday late afternoon but it not, I'll let you know at 7:00 on Saturday morning.
Departure Location: Springfield Pioneer Plaza /Pioneer Parkway in Springfield west of Safeway behind Shari's Restaurant.
We will drive up I-5 to Lebanon and then 4 miles east and then north for 9 miles on a paved road to a trailhead. Royal Terrace Falls, Crystal Pool and Majestic Falls are the three show stoppers for photographers. After our hike, we will drive 13 miles to Lebanon for lunch at Ixtapa Mexican Restaurant. The trip will probably take 5-6 hours. Children are welcome with an adult but they need to be registered and signed up online.
