Abandoned Entrance @ DeGolyer Road

Join the Trail Otter Gang for our first Spring Hike with the bonus of a full moon. We'll meet at Castile Cider Mill/Three Falls Cider by 6:50pm to sign waivers and drive to the trailhead. This "trail" is a road walk down to the closed section of Park Road. We'll hike past the abandoned entrance and view the spectacular outlooks of Tea Table, then a short hike over to Wolf Creek. Figure on approximately 4 miles of hiking with the last section a steep climb back to our vehicles.

Hope you can join us!
