The hike will proceed from High Knob to Resthaven, by way of Hurricane Bluff, Grindstaff Hollow, and Colter Spring. This will be a hike of moderate difficulty, and is intended for people in good health who have done some walking. Boots or sturdy shoes, as well as hiking sticks, are recommended. Hikers should bring their own water and a snack. No dogs, please. 

Hikers should meet at 10:00 a.m. at the parking lot atop High Knob, in southern Gallatin County. Carpooling is not required, but is encouraged.
