The cold front on Saturday came through as predicted and we shivered as the wind chilled us at Cloudland Canyon. But what a relief from the hot, humid days of summer! We started our adventure at the Bear Creek backcountry trailhead and hiked down the rocky path to easily cross the nearly dry Bear creek. Except for one short rock scramble, the path was an easy meandering through the forest with leaf color just beginning. Nearly missed the overlook into the canyon, but some other hikers showed us the way. We sat on the rocky rim edge, enjoyed the scenery while eating lunch and resting. Returning on our journey, we encounter a few ascents, huffing and puffing up the trail to an elevation gain of around 1600 feet and distance of 8.25 miles.
