Perry Creek — Tuesday, Sep. 30, 2025

It was a beautiful hike on a sometimes steep and rocky trail. The forecast rain never came. AllTrails had predicted very poor air quality, but the air was clear. Fall colors are beginning to show, but the peak of color is yet to come. Three of us turned around at the falls for a 6.6 mile hike, with 1,545 feet of elevation gain. The other three continued up the steep part for another hour and a half, not quite reaching the meadow.
