For those who don’t mind getting their feet wet, hike leader John Dwyer of @magnasilvagardens will continue back on the Thunderhole Falls trail, which parallels Thunderhole Creek and crosses it several times before climbing back up to the road. The trail is easy singletrack and involves several wet-foot crossings. Poison ivy and stinging nettle are present along this trail, so pants are recommended.

Dress for the weather/terrain and pack water and food. Trekking poles may be useful if choosing to hike Thunderhole Falls trail back. Total hike distance is 4.9 miles along the road, 4.3 along the trail.

We will meet at the southeast corner of the parking lot at Shoppes on the Parkway at 9:00 am and depart for the trailhead at 9:30 am.

Depending on the number of attendees, we will need additional drivers willing to shuttle hikers the 4.5 miles to the trailhead. 4wd is not required but the gravel road can be washboarded in some spots.
