June 13 - Big Green and Mountain and Granny Burrell Falls
Strenuous (Details for Granny Burrell Falls. No description yet for Big Green)
We'll take the long route to Granny Burrell Falls by going along Greenland Creek, then
across to Big Green Mountain where we'll go along the top of the ridge. After a steep
descent we'll rejoin the valley trail near Granny Burrell Falls. We'll return by way of the main
road through the valley. This is a fun hike. Bring a picnic lunch or a snack for the falls.
