The
last time we visited here it rained most of the time. This time we had perfect hiking weather and
the leaves were just starting to change. There is a hike here that is listed as
one of the top hikes in the U.S. called Honey Creek Loop. We had to try it.
First,
you have to drive one hour from the campground to get to the trailhead. That
involves hairpin turns and gravel roads. We saw deer and a turtle on the way.
If you don’t have it typed into your GPS and a long explanation from the
ranger, I’m not sure if you can find the trailhead.
The
hike is difficult. They say you need an
hour for every mile and “they” are right. The
trail is amazing! Some of it is fairly
simple walking in the woods, but then you are in a maze walking under and over
falls. There is a rope to get over one
portion. There were large boulders to climb and immense cliffs. Climbing up the ladder can be very tiring.
The picture only shows parts of that climb.
Fun!!!
