MAHC: Hidden Lake Loop
Hike: 8 Miles Rating: Strenuous
Drive: 22 Miles ($3)
A strenuous lollipop hike to Hidden Lake (also known as Camp Birchfield Lake) along the short but steep Camp Birchfield Lake Trail and the longer, but mostly downhill, Lower Higgins Creek Trail at Rocky Fork. The total distance is about 8 miles with several beautiful waterfalls along the way. We will have to deal with about 10 creek crossings on the Camp Birchfield Lake Trail on the way up to the lake and about 3-4 on the way back on the Lower Higgins Creek Trail — hopefully on rocks — so, be prepared either way (the first crossing is the hardest). There is also the option of returning via the Camp Birchfield Lake Trail for those hikers who desire a shorter walk. Leader: Eric Middlemas (423) 282-6987; email: emiddlemas@live.com. Depart Arby’s 8:00 a.m.
