Description
Ranger-led Hike - Explore Stephen King Library and Solstice Cave
Join our ranger on a hike to explore the South Clear Creek Gorge on Friday, September 22 at 10 a.m. ET. The hike will be a moderate to strenuous out-and-back hike of 3 miles total on the South Clear Creek Trail.
Along the way, the trail will pass several high vantage points to view the gorge from above. The trail descends below the rim into the gorge of Clear Creek with imposing walls and sounds of water rushing over the boulders within the river below. Hikers will encounter unique geologic areas such as the Solstice Cave, Stephen King Library, and the Great Roof.
Please wear weather appropriate clothing, sturdy shoes, and bring water and snacks. For more information contact the visitor center.
