South Franklin Peak Hike
Start Time: Meet at Tom Mays at 8:30/ hike starts at 9:00 a.m.
Length: 3-4 miles/ 2.5 – 3 hours
*Difficulty Level: Strenuous. From the trailhead we will venture into the canyon on a well maintained section of trail; once we reach the incline, the trail becomes increasingly steep, with trail becoming more rugged in sections. This hike will conclude above the “Mammoth” or about 1.5 to 2 miles down the trail, then we will return using the same route (the entire stretch of the Ron Coleman Trail is about 3.8 miles one way).
