Join Stacy in a cool gorge with waterfalls
The gorge trail is open all the way to the top for the first time in years, with a new metal bridge #7. Six older wooden bridges cross the stream as we ascend the gorge. We will hike to the top of the gorge trail, optionally take a shorter loop up to a small lake, and return by the south rim trail. Total distance is about 4 miles. Parts of the trail are steep and other parts may be muddy or wet. This is a beautiful park and we will take our time and enjoy the scenery.
There is an $8 per vehicle fee to enter state parks. It is possible to park nearby in the village and carpool a short distance to save on the entry fee.
Check your confirmation email for exact meeting location because we will not meet at the main pavilion.
