Itinerary:

This is a very cool hike, well worth the drive!

Join me as I hike the Collins Gulf in the Savage Gulf State Natural Area. We will be hiking the Collins Gulf Trail, the Collins Rim Trail and the "Historic" Stagecoach Road. There are several very cool waterfalls and suspension bridges on this hike as well as several geological wonders as rivers disappear from view and appear again just downstream. Suter Falls, at the beginning of the hike, is one of my all time favorite falls. There is one ankle deep water crossing, so waterproof boots and poles would be a good idea.

This is a long difficult D5 hike, recent D5 experience is required to join the fun.

Carpool Cost:

Estimated cost per vehicle for this event is $104.00 using a reimbursement rate guideline of $0.400 per mile. The total amount should be divided by the number of people in the vehicle, including the driver. This is a guideline, not a rule, for drivers but the cost should not be higher unless there are extenuating circumstances.
