Approximately 4-5 miles
There will be several alternatives to adjust or shorten the hike as some individuals may wish. The basics of the hike will be a walk up the unused portion of the former Route 82 and then a loop up to and around the scenic reservoir. Once we return to the old Route 82, we continue to the rock-climbing wall to observe the activities there.
Meeting place: 10:00am on Hay Creek Rd, north of Geigertown, .8 mile north of where Mullin Hollow Rd ends at Hay Creek Rd.
Updated DIRECTIONS: From the traffic light in Gibraltar at the Turkey Hill,
travel east on Route 724 1.2 miles. Take the first right turn at the
sign for Hillcrest Hall Bingo, cross railroad tracks, turn left on Old
River Rd, then almost immediately right onto Rock Hollow Rd. Drive 2.8
miles on Rock Hollow, cross Cocalico Rd, then drive another 1.1 miles to
the first stop sign at Hay Creek Rd. Turn left and drive .7 miles to the
parking area.
If the detour still exists I expect you will encounter it on Rock Hollow Rd when you want to cross Cocalico Rd. If so, instead of continuing on Rock Hollow Rd, turn right on Cocalico Rd. At the next intersection, turn left onto White Bear Rd. Follow White Bear until it ends at Hay Creek Rd. Turn left and continue on Hay Creek Rd until you reach the parking area.
Another option to totally avoid the possibility of a detour: At the traffic light in Gibralter (the one west of Turkey Hill, turn onto Route 568 south. Soon after passing the Creekside Inn, you encounter a Y. Bear left here onto White Bear Rd. Follow White Bear till it ends, turn left on Hay Creek, and proceed to the parking area.
