Hidden Falls & Long Mountain Fire Tower
The hike to hidden falls was a great hike. We had 16 hikers and a beautiful day. We hiked down to hidden falls and back to the intersection with the Foothills Trail for lunch and the group photo. After lunch. Roger, Sheila, Renee, Pam , and Don hiked on for 1 mile on the foothills trail to Long Mountain fire tower. The fire tower is accessible to climb and offers a great view from the top. The rest of the group decided to head back to the cars and were led back by Terre. The group had a 5.7 mile hike and the fire tower group had a 7.3 mile hike. We also saw Disappearing Falls along the Hidden Falls Trail. Notes by Terre & Don Pratt
