This hike has always been one of my favorites. The walk along Fiery Gizzard Creek is just beautiful. Although it is a little more beautiful when there is more water flowing. There were 10 hikers on this hike and the weather was perfect. At the end of this hike, hike we we had our snacks at the entrance to Fiery Gizzard under a shelter with picnic tables and shade. Following this hike we drove a short distance to the Lone Rock trail surrounding one of the Grundy Lakes. The first hike lasted 2 hours and 14 minutes and covered exactly 3.0 miles. The second shorter hike lasted just 51 minutes and covered 1.4 miles. Following this most of us went to the Dutch Bakery in Tracy City and had a delightful lunch.
Ten hikers enjoyed a beautiful early fall day on September
26 hiking in Grundy Forest and around Grundy Lakes. The hikers were Will Latham, Joan Hartvigsen,
Tom McElhone, Earl Helmer, Dorothy Hill, Clara Russell, Lee Prichard, Mike
Wofford, Patty Bradley, Betsy Darken. On
the Grundy Forest Day Loop we read interpretive signs about the Civilian
Conservation Corp (CCC) Camp located in this area. We hiked along Fiery Gizzard Creek and saw
cascades and large hemlocks. We enjoyed
our lunch at the picnic pavilion before traveling to nearby Grundy Lakes
Historic Area. We saw the Coke Ovens and
hiked the Lone Rock Trail which circled beautiful Grundy Lake.
