0800 at the TH. Option to meet at N Bend Safeway-probably 0720 to consolidate cars, as we will need to get an early-ish start for this long hike.

Fun long winter river ramble. I would expect to get wet/wear your best Gortex as this area follows a river and has many drainages into said river. We will look for "Big Tree”- an old growth beaut that missed being logged. This will be our turn around point.
Please note the length of this hike (approx. 6 hrs of being outside) before signing up for this hike.
We will more or less keep moving to stay warm. Like snacking and walking. We will take a short lunch break at big tree.
