St. Mary’s Wilderness Hike

OVERVIEW

We will be hiking a short 5.5 miles in St. Mary’s Wilderness area, and spend some time swimming next to BEAUTIFUL waterfalls. It will be a fantastic way to spend a Sunday! The water will be COLD, but the weather should be nice! Check out the hiking upward photos of the falls: http://www.hikingupward.com/GWNF/StMarysWilderness/

St. Mary’s is just over one hour away from grounds, so we will leave from Echols dorm at 9:30, arrive just after 10:30, hike and swim for 3-4 hours, then return to grounds around 4. Since it is a wilderness area, there is a limit to the number of people that can hike in a group, so I can only take the 5 people in my car.

Items to bring:
Sturdy shoes (and water shoes, if wanted)
Athletic apparel
Bathing suit/towel and dry clothes (as wanted)
Lunch
2 liters of water
