Sat, Sep 8, 2012, 2:30 pm: Butler Bay Waterfall HikeGeneral info for all hikes and walks: Hikes and walks are $5 for members, and $10 for non-members (become a member). Unless otherwise noted, the pace for hikes is moderate, lasting 3-5 hours, covering 3-5 miles, the terrain is hilly, footing is sometimes uneven, and we follow trails and possibly paved or dirt roads . Walks are easier and shorter than hikes, and usually follow paved or dirt roads, no trails. The guide may periodically stop and talk along the way. Bring sturdy, comfortable walking or hiking shoes, water, snack, bug spray, rain poncho, and camera. Shorts or long pants are OK. For day hikes, bring a hat and sun block. For night hikes, bring a small flashlight. There are usually about 20 people. We depart about 30 minutes after the posted start time. For some hikes, we will meet at the indicated location, then drive a short distance to the hike location. Specific info for this hike: Meet at 2:30pm at Sprat Hole in the parking area across from the Underwater Tracking Range. We will walk from there to the Butler Bay area and begin the hike. We will be walking in a stream bed, which is rocky, and probably won't have any water. This hike is moderately difficult, with uneven footing and large rocks to climb over, and will take about 90 minutes each way. Long pants are recommended because of high grass.
