Sunday Morning Hiking Series #38 -Neff Canyon
8am-12pm
Series Description
For those new to this hiking series, these are social hikes around the Salt Lake area for the purpose of caching, enjoying the outdoors, and getting to know fellow cachers. There tends to be a range of fitness levels that show up for the hikes. As the emphasis is on being social, don't worry if a steep leaves you puffing. I'll be right there clinging to a tree and puffing with you. Our usual meeting time is 8am, and we leave the parking area by 8:05am. The other primary feature of these hikes is that they are short and can be accomplished by noon. Trails tend to be a little emptier on Sunday mornings and we'll be done in time for anyone who has Sunday obligations to attend an afternoon service. If you don't have to be anywhere in the afternoon, there's frequently a longer trail to take. If you would like more information about the whole series of hikes, check out the others in the series in the bookmark list at the right.
NOTE FOR NON-CACHERS: Since there has been a trend toward non-cachers joining us due to cross posting of hikes on hiking groups, just a heads-up. Yes, it's a hike and you are certainly welcome to join us. However, it is a caching hike which means if there are caches along the trail we are going to go search for them. That may mean stepping off the trail briefly or an involved search and/or bushwhack off trail. We are happy to teach you about geocaching. We like to spread our obsession. Just come with the expectation that there will be detours from the trail and it will likely take longer to do the hike with this group than most other groups you've gone with. Searching the woods for a piece of paper in tupperware using billion dollar satellites is fun. Try it, you might like it.
Description for this Hike
A popular and shady trail. We're hiking up a canyon. It's not terribly steep but it is a climb the whole way up. Of course, then it's downhill coming back. This is one of those hikes where we'll go as far as everyone feels like then turn around. It would be nice to make the ridge but I'm not sure we can do that in a reasonable time frame. We could call that the long hike. I promise, though, this hike will realy swing :-)Dogs are welcome in this canyon.
Come on out and have some fun hiking and caching with the Seventh Day Adventurists! Make a Sunday morning caching hike part of your month! Cache you there!
