I am fairly impervious to weather myself, and actually I like to be immersed in the harsher elements('cept heat). I just know most of the time people shy away from anything other than "ideal" outdoors conditions. Truth be told I am still going to go no matter what it looks like outside, so the invitation stands. Megan probably won't go, she's climatically challengedAscinder, hiking is something I am willing to do, rain or shine, cold or hot. As long as you can put up with how slow and outta shape I am, I'm game., but actually, on hiking difficulty scale, you aren't going to find much easier. To call it a walk in the park would be incorrect only in the sense that it is in the woods, not a park. The incline is so slight, it is unnoticeable in most places. I haven't ever gone all the way to the end, but we can try based conditions.
Here's a rundown from trails.com:
Lemme know when you guys want to meet up if you want to go. I was thinking Saturday morning or afternoon, but I am flexible.Lower Galena Creek Trail Preview: Those who subscribe to the theory that golf is a good walk spoiled might enjoy this hike along Galena Creek. The trail begins in a natural setting of sagebrush scrub and Jeffrey pine forest with thick riparian foliage lining the creek, but all too soon it passes through the manicured grounds and upscale homes of the Montreux Golf and Country Club. Beyond Montreux, the surroundings return to a more natural state before the path disappears in a tangle of thick brush that chokes the banks of the tumbling creek. The trail will ultimately connect two county parks, Callahan and Galena Creek, but it currently dead-ends about a quarter mile below Galena Creek Park. The relatively low elevation makes the trip up Galena Creek a good choice for a spring or fall outing, but the mostly forested route provides enough shade that even a midsummer hike shouldn’t be oppressively hot. A picnic lunch at Callahan Park may provide a fine conclusion to the adventure.
