RAINBOW FALLS & JESSICA LAKE

This is an out and back hike of 8.5km taking us up the the falls on the Whiteshell River rated moderate for some elevation gains. The plan is to stop for lunch at the falls. We can take a reprieve on the shores of Jessica Lake before our second leg.
The second leg of our hike will be Jessica Lake: Loop C, which as the same starting point. This is a shorter trail of 3km, rated easy. This will be a nice chance to soak up the fall colours.
We will complete a total of roughly 12km, taking somewhere between 5 and 6 hours depending on how often we stop.
MEETING INFO: We will meet at the Dominion Cenrte Tim Horton's (19 Marion St.) beginning at 9am. From here we will arrange carpooling with a plan to depart by 9:30am.
TIMING: If we get out of the city promptly we should get to the trail head and on our way before noon(It's roughly two hours to our destination of Jessica Lake Lodge).
