Ten hikers joined hike leader, Gabriel Garretson on a very warm August day to hike up the Lower Nicholson Hollow Trail from the Old Rag parking lot to Corbin Cabin. Other hikers included Anne Colgate, Art Bykonen, Bev and Pete Fink, CJ Woodburn, Claire Cline, Gopal Midhe, Iva Gillet, Maynard Davis, and Patrick Cory. The overall hike was ten miles long with 14oo feet of ascent. Most of the hike was along the beautiful Hughes River and included eight major stream crossings. Due to the heat we hiked at a slower pace with frequent stops to cool with river water. The hike also included a visit inside historic Corbin Cabin and a swim in the Hughes River on the return. Despite the heat, everyone enjoyed the hike and several requested a repeat hike in cooler weather this fall. Claire Cline did an excellent job as our hike photographer.
