Scenic City TTA hike led by Julie Roberts. 9 hikers met at Laurel/Snow parking area to begin. The State Park has built an overflow parking area to accomodate the crowds at this beautiful area. Richland Creek was flowing after our recent rain. We had a good time walking along the creek, to the new bridge. then at the junction, started towards our destination. There were campers at the creekside campsite, and the fall colors were pretty in the sunlight. The climb up the ridge was good, all the way to Buzzard Point our lunchtime views. Three of us decided to go to Snow Falls, the other 6 started the hike back. Betsy and JC decided to find an alternate route to get to the base of Snow Falls, I stayed on top to watch the adventure. After they climbed back up we explored a little, then returned to the trail back down. Made it out before dark.
On the drive home started up Hwy 30 to find traffic stopped due to a truck pulling a really long horse trailer catching on fire. Only one lane was open, hopefully all were safe.
