Weekly Trials and Tribulations of the Scenic City Chapter of the TTA

Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Signal Pt. to Rainbow Lake Loop 4.23.19

I am repeating myself lately, but this was another perfect day for a hike.  The weather was clear and sunny with a temperature in the mid 70's.  I missed a last minute notice of a change in locations and as a result showed up at the wrong place.  This was due to some trail closures caused by turkey hunting.  I eventually caught up with the group at Rainbow Lake, but missed the first 1.4 miles of the hike.  This wasn't such a bad thing as I also missed a rough rocky section that wasn't much fun.  The Rainbow Lake loop was beautiful and rated as easy.  There were two swinging bridges that we crossed which added to the hikes diversity.  I hiked a total of three miles which is shown on the attached map.  The rest of the group hiked an additional distance of 1.4 miles for a total of 4.4 miles of delightful hiking.  Middle Creek was flowing nicely and its roar was always in the background.  There were either 16 or 17 hikers, (depending on who counted) and I think everyone enjoyed the hike.  Following the hike, the hikers broke up into groups and went to lunch.  If you would like to see a bunch of pictures, map, altitude graph and a couple short videos, click here.  If you are trying to view the pictures on the TTA webpage and having trouble, please go directly to the Blog at www.sdctta.blogspot.com.  The preferred browser is Google Chrome.

Ever wonder why...
We park on driveways and drive on parkways?
Your fingers have fingertips, but your toes don't have toetips?
Yet, you can tiptoe but not tipfinger?
