We'll be hiking to upper Wallace Falls which will include stops to the lower and middle falls. The route will start with us taking a direct route to the upper falls and the way back will include a detour along a railroad grade trail. This way the way going up will be bit harder while keeping the way down a bit more gradual at least for part of the hike.
After the hike we'll stop to eat an early lunch/snack. The current plan is to probably stop by a nearby restaurant (suggestions are welcome).
