PS - Hike - Mission Creek trail

Easter hike, 420, before summer... We will hike the Mission Creek trail from the Stone House to the Whitewater overlook along the PCT - approx. 5.5 miles. The trail is not very steep, and is moderate in difficulty.  The route is a gradual incline of about 700' gain. We will take a break at the overlook, bring a snack. If the weather forecast warms too much, the hike will be shortened to the PCT junction. Current weather calls for 60s and 70s.
