For our January trip this year we went to stone door, originally we had planned to go to Tallulah Gorge but the weather was not looking to be in our favor. We arrived at the church and gathered our gear before setting off around 7:30. We arrived late and quickly set up camp as it was going to rain, and to our luck, it started raining only after everyone’s tents were fully up. We had a cracker barrel and went to bed.
The next day we woke up late and ate eggs in a bag, it’s one of my favorite camping meals. By 10:00 we were ready to set out on trail. The weather was misting us throughout the day but no heavy rain so that was good. We hiked 5 miles to camp and descended 1,000 feet down the door. When we got to camp, everyone divided into jobs that needed to be done before it got dark in a hour. This night got in the 20s but everyone stayed warm for the most part and the next morning it started to snow. The entire hike out it snowed and coated the forest in ice which made for unique views. Another highlight was the rope swing bridges that dotted the trail along the way. On the way back we stopped at chipotle. Overall it was a good trip.
