Nature Hike North Cascade Creek
Margaret Mayer has been a hike leader and naturalist for AMC, Wilderness Ventures, School of Field Studies, NPS and others. Bring field guides and enjoy nature hikes with gentle ups and downs.
We will start at a high meadow accessed by a little road off of 550 just north of Cascade Creek. It parallels the Cascade Creek road on a higher terrace, contouring through aspen groves and meadow to join the Cascade Creek road which shortly comes to the Cascade Creek trail. Round trip approx 4 miles but can be longer if the group wishes to continue along the trail to the falls (8 mile RT)
Carpool $5. Limit 12. 2 well behaved dogs ok (Please include in RSVP).
