Itinerary: | |||||||
This is my favorite hike ( only 8 mile) and swim outing.The experience begins with you expecting the best, and helping to make it happen.Our hike begins with crossing a gentle creek, and walk on the easy rolling terrain for several miles .The trail first will take us to the 15 foor rugged Overflow Falls, with a huge swimming pool beneath. We will enjoy the beauty for a short while.then we will bushwack our way on old overgrown,forest service roads toward the Big Creek and the 'Three Forks' intersection.Here we will have lunch & swim for abour 30 minutes.. From here we will cross Overflow Creek to visit another nice waterfall and swimming hole on Holcomb Creek, some 20' high;We will stay ,and swim as long as the group wants before returning to the Big Creek trail, with its initial short but steep uphills to 2 more incresingly beautiful waterfalls on Big Creek; capped by a stunning, wild 3-tiered 50' beauty, in a deep gorge. . After the last waterfall we make out way out the relatively mellow uphill to easy road walk out to our cars. | |||||||
