Heyy hikers! Bridget and Nikki are leading a trip up to Switzer falls!! We'll be meeting at 8am to get on the road and get starting on the trail around 9/9:30!
The hike will be about 4 hours long not counting our nice little lunch break - we'll be hiking past Switzer Falls at first towards Bear Canyon, before doubling back to have lunch and rest at the falls for some amazing photos and vibes. After that we'll head back to the cars and get back on the road to make it to campus before dinnertime! We're excited to have you on this trip, stay stoked!
