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

Weekly Trials. Tribulations and Photos experienced while hiking

Savage Gulf, Big Creek, 2.15.2020

This hike was at Savage Gulf on a very beautiful saturday.  We did a loop hike of 10.7 miles down into the Collins River Gorge and back out.  The elevation change for this hike was a rugged 1900 feet (especially rugged was the going down part).  I would rate this hike as strenuous (see attached graph provided by Tammy).
The weather was great, the river was a deep green, full of boulders, and was flowing very well.  We had six hikers today.  We lunched on the banks of the Collins River, took a few photos, and began our uphill stroll back to our starting point (the Stone Door Ranger Station).  It was a very nice hike with a good group of hikers.

Just a quick note since we have been having so much rain lately....If you might need an ark.  I Noah a guy!
