Midlife Hikers Review
This was a quick trip out to Savage Gulf for some gear testing and beginning of season hiking. We decided to camp near the Ranger Station due to weather concerns. The hiking only included Stonedoor Trail and Laurel Falls trail where we revisited the overlooks and Laurel Falls area.
The view are stunning at Stonedoor and I would recommend this side of the park for anyone wanting a quick and easy trip in. The Stonedoor campsites are well maintained with plenty of room between sites. The campsite area has male and female pit privy’s nearby and the ranger station is actually only .5 miles if you want the comfort of a real bathroom.
We had a decent turnout with Curtis, Debbie, Snake Stepper, Woodchuck and Ski and myself all attending this hike. Just relaxing miles in the woods with plenty of time at the camp to share our stories.
