Tomorrow’s weather forecast is not good. However, I hate to cancel the day before a hike. I will issue an update tomorrow morning by 7:30 if we need to cancel.

Tomorrow’s hike can be shortened considerably by skipping Caney Bottom if the weather turns south. Ranger Station; 9:00. No need to RSVP. We’ll just see who shows up.

5/15    Caney Bottom/Cove Creek
4.5 mi., 600’cl., R5, $2.50
From the Cove Creek trailhead on Davidson River Road we hike to the far end of the Caney Bottom Campground.  We hike the Caney Bottom trail to the Cove Creek trail to Cove Creek Falls.  Then we hike the user trail along Cove Creek eventually finding Whaleback Falls and our cars.  Hikers are encouraged to bring trekking poles for the two rock hops across Cove Creek.

After reviewing several forecasts I think we will not be doing the planned hike at Summey Cove. However, there is a decent chance the rain may hold off until noon so I will try a local hike – the North Slope/Davidson River hike. Please keep an eye out for any further updates as I may still cancel later today if the forecast deteriorates. Let’s meet at the Ranger Station parking lot at 8:45 and leave by 9:00 AM.

Wednesday 70% Precip. / 0.25 in
Rain showers early morning with a good chance of showers/thunderstorms in the afternoon. Highs around 70, low 60’s at the meeting time. Winds WNW 5 MPH.
