Finish 2024 with a guided hike through the Western foothills of the Franklin Mountains.

This hike is a moderate 2.5 mile hike. After a steep initial descent down an old jeep road, the trail transitions to well-maintained trail that climbs up and out of the canyon meandering around rock outcroppings before making its way back up. It ends with a slightly steeper climb up to the scenic overlook.
