We will pass Sahalie Falls. Pack a lunch to eat along the way.

• Difficulty: Moderate
• Elevation gain: 300 feet
• Suggested donation per hiker: $10

Drivers are needed who are equipped and willing to drive in the snow. Sno-Park permits are required for drivers’ cars. We will stop at Sandy or Government Camp for those who need to rent snowshoe gear.
