Hike Leader: Pat Doyle patrickjd9@gmail.com
Hike Details: Somehow, despite the river being named for him, Pat has never led this classic as a club hike. While the leaves will be just past peak, there should be plenty to see. It is a moderately difficult hike, 8 miles, with two waterfalls on Doyle's River, plus three more waterfalls along the Jones Run trail. There will be a few stream crossings. These can normally be rock hopped, but is this guaranteed? No, it is not. Therefore, it might be wise to sneak a pair of water shoes into your pack.
