This was a close call for me. Each week I put a copy of the current months hikes next to my computer. This time I inadvertently put March's hike schedule up. Therefore, when I looked at the schedule I was slightly off. It wasn't until the Sunday night before the hike that I realized I was leading the next hike. "Panic". I quickly had to figure out how to get to the hike sight but also just where the trail went. Therefore I wasn't exactly prepared for this hike, but somehow I managed to bluff my way through.
The day was absolutely beautiful, cool and with a perfect blue sky. The trail was easy to follow and we proceeded to the Greeter homesite and then onward to the upper and lower falls overlooks. The falls were flowing nicely and the views were excellent. At this point the trail did get a little rougher with patches of rocks and roots. Therefore, I would rate this hike as moderate. Everyone made it through these unscathed. This trail included all kinds of different terrain which made for an interesting hike. When we reached Board Camp Falls sat about two miles we had to decide whether to continue the loop we were on or do an out and back towards Alum gap. We elected to add a couple miles to this the hike resulting in a 4.2 mile hike that lasted just over 4 hours. The addition was worth it as the bluff showed us a beautiful view of Savage Gulch. We then turned around and began the hike back to the parking lot. There was lots of conversation during the hike so I am pretty sure that my bluff was working.
