Trip Report

Small, friendly group, great weather, and lovely views of the river. We started with an unplanned 1/3 mile easy walk along a woodsy trail (courtesy of Leah) then got onto the main concrete path for the rest of our journey. We talked about planning another walk starting along the same main path, then turning onto the Mill Race path, and then finding our way back to the Dorris Ranch parking lot. A definite possibility for the near future.
