Please bring a dish to share. Also - if someone wants to bring a meat chili - we would appreciate it (Note: we can reheat the chili at the cabin) We will have water - but you are welcome to bring your own refreshments.

White Rock Falls Trail Hike: Bring: Daypacks, water and a snack,
TATC Cabin Trail Description: Directly across the Parkway is the unmarked access trail to the cabin. Just over half a mile in length, the trail soon widens out to become an old roadway. After descending a bit, away from the Parkway, the route is easy to follow and mostly level. About half way to the cabin (as you pass by some huge boulders on the uphill side of the trail) you leave National Forest land and are on club property.
About the TATC Cabin: The cabin was built by club members in 1982. It is a large primitive open stone cabin with a loft. There is no running water or electricity. There is a spring for water, and a well-maintained outhouse. To rent the cabin, you must be a TATC member and attend an orientation weekend at the cabin.
