Originally this weekend was slated to be a big Team Waterfall gathering at my friend Elliot's cabin. However with the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic, Elliott wisely decided to cancel the big gathering/campout.
However, some fresh air in the form of a smaller group dayhike definitely seemed to be in order.
Kyle had a tributary of Emory Creek he wanted to explore, so we gathered a small crew together to bushwhack into the unknown where we would be highly unlikely to encounter any other humans.
Five Went In (Including Blizzy)
L to R: Me, Kyle, Scott, Blizzy, Dillon
While this area is loaded with trails and forest service roads, much of our day was spent was off trail! The off trail portions of this adventure are extremely difficult and should only be attempted by those experience in off trail navigation, creekwalking, and bushwhacking!
Here are some of the photos from our adventure!
