| A six-mile hike from Greeter Falls to Stone
Door Ranger Station
Six of us met at Greeter Falls parking lot to go on an 'easy' one-way hike to Stone Door. Some didn't exactly agree with my 'easy' description of the expedition. We briefly stopped at Greeter Falls and Boardtree Falls, before arriving at Big Bluff Overlook. This bluff overlooks the beautiful Big Creek Gulf. From Big Bluff Overlook, we followed the rim towards Stone Door. We ate lunch at Stone Door and watched folks rappelling the nearby bluffs. From Stone Door, it was an 'easy' mile to the Stone Door Ranger Station, our destination. It was a great hike, and weather was super! Expedition leader, Eric Dempsey |
