Love to hike the 6.5 mi from Whitewater preserve to the stone shelter. mission Creek was just barely a creek maybe even just a trickle. bring lots of water. It’s rated hard but I definitely think it’s moderate

Shawn Bengtson

What a amazing day hike. Very slow incline and the road up to the shelter takes about 45 minutes. It was peaceful and quiet and very easy to walk up.
