Kids Club: Along the White River

Hike down to the White River and head downstream on trails, gravel tracks, and dirt roads by the riverside, passing below tall cliffs.

Good for kids age 7 and up. This hike is too long for younger kids to walk the whole way by themselves.

This is the same White River hike that the team treks in summer and winter, but for the Kids Club version, they’re going to take it slow, with several extended stops for paddling and finding frogs, plus plenty of time to pick out a nice stick or two. So you might end up coming home quite late.
