Four hikers traveled to Cherokee NF to hike the Clemmer trail from Rt 30 to Benton Falls and back. The temperature was in the low 40s but going uphill gradually for 2+ miles kept us warm. The trail is mostly packed dirt, well worn and easy to follow as it is a popular bike path. We rock hopped about 5 small streams. Arriving at the junction of the Benton Falls trail, we descended the rock steps to the falls. In spite of the cool day, there were quite a few people enjoying the falls, even a few dogs and a bear..a dog named Bear. After lunch we returned on the Clemmer trail, taking a 0.3mile detour on the Rim Rock Spur loop. The hike was 9.7 mile trek with an elevation of 1352 feet and walking time of 4 1/2 hours.

Tip for new hikers. If you are hiking and get lost, it is alway good to know which way is North. I have found that the easiest way to find North is.......Face South and then turn around!
