It’s been scorching hot outside, and even though we all feel like we’ve been melting away in the sweltering heat, it doesn’t mean we have to stay home. There will be enough fun events coming in the next two weeks to keep the whole family cool and entertained:
Hike: 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.
You’ll see the running river, leafy green trees by the riverside, impressive tall and steep cliffs made from massive slabs of rocks and boulders, and hopefully the local family of herons that nest high up in the cliffs.
It’s possible to hike all the way down without crossing, but it’s also fun to get your feet wet on a few of the crossings – up to you!
