Spruce Flat Falls

Hello, this relatively short walk (2.5mls.), in what has become somewhat more difficult over the recent past, took place Monday the 1st, between Tremont and Spruce Flat Falls. This reference to difficulty is probably due to the wear this trail gets consistently from visitors to Tremont and that the last two times I've been on it it has been slick! I commend the groups who were being led on instructional hikes w/ folks from the institute as some parts of the route would require close attention to where and how one steps.

The falls were busting as this picture shows and the "staircase" (top of page) was new to me covering some of the type of terrain I noted earlier. The trails are now posted w/ what appears to be permanent signage even though they are not on the maps. Though this tends to be the case for some of the more pleasant hikes. Peace.
