Stone Door / Big Creek Loop

10 miles. Difficult for length, elevation change, and rocky / rooty footing.

We’ll descend through the Stone Door and drop about 750’ fairly rapidly, follow the Big Creek Gulf trail, and take the spur to Ranger Falls. Continuing on we’ll reverse the elevation change coming out at the Alum Gap Campground and follow the Big Creek Rim Trail back to the parking lot. We’ll meet at the Ranger Station; plan for roughly 7-1/2 hours trail time. Pack a lunch and bring snacks and plenty of water. Joint hike with Highland Rim Chapter. Register with Mark for details and updates.
