Saturday, July 13, 2013, Hike -- Twin Arches Loop Hike, Big South Fork
A 5 mile moderately strenuous hike due to the flights of stairs and the continual climb from Charit Creek. These two arches are the largest arches in the Big South Fork and quite possibly in the Eastern United States. The South Arch is the highest at 100 feet. After visiting the arches, we pass through several huge rock houses along the base of the cliffs as we wind our way to Jake’s Place, the remains of a mid-1800’s house and farm. Then, we follow the creek to Charit Creek lodge where we will eat lunch. We ascend 500 ft. in almost a mile as we climb from Charit Creek past the arches and to the trailhead. Bring water, snack, lunch, and hiking boots. Depart the parking lot behind Crossville Cracker Barrel at 7:00 am CT. For information and to register contact Howard Owens at 931-484-1328. Gas Cost $6.
