Description: Big Creek Gulf Hike
Location: Savage Gulf State Park
Looking for a challenging all-day hike with rewarding views and waterfalls?
This moderately intense 9-mile hike will begin at the Stone Door Ranger Station and travel down on Big Creek Gulf Trail then back out of the Gulf at Alum Gap and finishing along Laurel Trail. While on the Big Creek Gulf Trail, if the river level permits, we will detour to the stunning Ranger Falls.
Guests will need to be able to hike long distances, transition across boulder fields and water crossing and be comfortable making steep elevation gains and descents.
Guests will also need to wear weather appropriate clothing with hiking shoes, bring snacks with lunch, and have ample amounts of water.
Meet at the Stone Door Ranger Station.
NOTICE: The areas around overlooks and waterfalls can be treacherous in terms of keeping your footing. The potential to slip and fall exists, and extreme care is needed.
*This hike is weather permitting, Guests will be emailed if cancelation is required.
