Savage Gulf Wildnerness Area lives up to its reputation. It is wickedly savage! Climb down into the canyon via rock scrambling trails over boulders, along steep precipices, and under over-hanging ledges. Worth the effort? You bet!
Suter's Falls tumbles over the escarpment into a rocky plunge pool. On this windy day in early May, no one wanted to take the plunge!
Delicate treasures awaited the patient.
Only 2 miles from Suter's Falls lies another gem well worth the strenuous effort to reach it: Horsepound Falls, today roaring with water from all the heavy rainfall.
Metal building scaffolding provided an ingenious bridge.
This tiny Prairie Trillium, found only on the Cumberland Plateau and west, grew in abundance along with bronze Sweet Betsy Trillium.
Amazing!
