Rainy Day Hike 🌧️ at Yellow Birch Ravine

Pack your galoshes and ponchos this week and plan for a 'wet hike' at Yellow Birch Ravine. The trail has several creek crossings and a quite impressive waterfall best viewed in the rain!

This will make for an easy (but wet), scenic hike along a ravine stream bed with steep, rocky cliffs, waterfall, and a natural arch.

• Difficulty: Easy to moderate
• Length: 3.8 miles

WHAT TO BRING

• Poncho or Lightweight rain gear 
• Sturdy shoes for hiking (they'll get wet!)
