We will try to beat the heat but dress comfortably, hat, suntan lotion and bring plenty of water and some snacks. We will be hiking at a leisurely pace and stopping along the way to enjoy the flow of Buffalo Crk. We will be stopping at the location where Frank and Robert Cheley built the Buffalo Roost about 1906. On the return we will take an alternate route back to Gold Camp Rd. We will have snacks at the Falls and possible stop for lunch when finished. Friendly dogs kept on a leash are welcome.
