Trip Report/Photos
Featured Photo

‎16 friends and family hiked Mt Morgan, over to Mt Percival & back down. It was about a 5 round trip hike with blue sky weather. There is an optional ladder and rock climb on the way up and another optional tight squeeze rock climb on the way down. This hike has lot's of optional fun obstacels and fantastic views for such a short, moderate hike. The downed oak leaves made the hike down a little more treacherous. After the hike, most of the group met at Hats Turkey Farm for a dinner before heading home.
