King Creek Ridge. It's easy ridge walk, 730 meters, 2.5 km each way.
The descent is a beautiful green valley, and an interesting canyon.
The canyon requires some creek crossing: I don't know how good the crossings are, I got wet last time.
As usual, we will hike an "easy, relaxed" pace.
Required Items to Bring:
Lunch and water. Bug spray and sun block. Boots. Dress for the weather.

Ski-pole, camera
