Let's hike White Oak Canyon and Cedar Run to burn off those extra calories from Thanksgiving. This is a 9 mile circuit hike with an elevation gain of about 2400 feet. This hike is famous for its many waterfalls.

IMPORTANT!

* You MUST have recently completed a hike of similar distance and elevation gain at a moderate pace. This hike is not suitable for beginners.
* The leader may message members with unknown hiking experience asking for the following information:

1. Trail previously hiked (distance and elevation if known)
2. Acknowledge that you hiked that trail within the last three months
3. That you maintained a moderate
pace during the entire hike (2 to 2.5 mph)

EVERYONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN HEALTH AND SAFETY AT ALL TIMES!

* Please read the RSVP/No-show policy at the bottom of the page.
