Trails
 
We will be posting downloadable GPS files for you to freely install on your phone or GPS device.  I recommend the Garmin eTrex product which is a small hand-held device.  Your phone will NOT likely have cell service down in the valley or on certain trails, but your GPS chip should work.  However, using a separate GPS device allows you to save your phone battery for emergencies and hiking with your phone in hand is not a good idea.  If you are using your phone, put it in airplane mode so that it doesn't eat up the battery looking for towers or downloading data.
 
Here is the hike down to the waterfalls starting at lot 110.  Please note the extreme change in altitude as you'll need 75% to get back up...
