Enterprise South 2.21.23

 Ten hikers met at Enterprise South near the visitor's center.  The hike was estimated to be about 5 miles and that is exactly what is was at 5.02 miles.  As usual we ambled through Enterprise South for 2 hrs and 40 minutes at an average of 2.3 mph.  It was overcast initially but about 3/4 of the way through the hike the sun began to peak out and the temperature climbed into the 70's.  Very nice hike led by a very competent leader.  Following this hike the group split up and went to a couple of different places.  I went to Champy's and had a nice catfish dinner although the prices have gone up considerably making it not so much of a value.

Savage Gulf South Rim 2.18.2023

 Ten hikers gathered on Saturday hiking to the falls at Savage Gulf and beyond on the South Rim trail.  The falls, turbulent and pounding, nearly overflowed its banks.  Mist swirled and icicles formed on nearby tree branches.  Next we climbed to the rim and were warmed by the sun climbing in the brilliant blue sky.  Small patches of snow lingered in the shadows.  Every spur trail was explored as we peered over the rocky rim to see the gorge below and the north rim opposite of us.  The promise was that the next overlook would be even better…and it was!  Finally a lunch break rested our weary feet.  It was the turnaround point to return to the trailhead.  We hiked 11.4 miles with an elevation gaian of 1,109 feet.  Good job hikers and thanks to our hike leader, Joan!
