Elaena and Jordyn are leading a SICK trip to Skull Rock! We will be meeting at the village fountain at 8am sharp - be ready to go! We will have a short 40 min car ride to the parking lot and get ready to go!
The hike will be 4.1 miles in total, and only 1000ft of elevation gain - we will take it at a nice leisurely pace to enjoy the scenery! There may be lots of brush and overgrowth, so long pants are recommended. We will hike up to see skull rock, before hiking down to relax and enjoy the wonderful waterfall and enjoy lunch!
After lunch we will finish up the hike and get back on the road, and be back at campus before 3pm! We’re excited to have you on our trip!
