the hike     The planned hike is a loop . Hike the Kinder Crossing Trail #19 about 2 miles down to the creek (map red line). At this point the exploratory begins (map blue line). Take the creek up stream toward the bridge (B). Somewhere between “S11” and the bridge we exit the creek and follow the “U” waypoints crossing FR95 to “U3” where we continue to the vehicles.
    I have hiked the creek north of “KC” in June and it is beautiful. Plan for wet feet and maybe more.   See Map.
