Organiser's Description
Join Piney Woods Conservation Group/Pinebelt Blueways for a fun hike collab with the Hattiesburg Walk Club at Red Bluff - Mississippi's "Little Grand Canyon."
Saturday, May 31st
10 a.m. - 1 p.m.(ish)
Red Bluff - Morgantown, MS
Parking Pin - https://maps.app.goo.gl/q6SoBRvKvDFTFELE6
Rim Meetup Pin - https://maps.app.goo.gl/ncr19J4jCLi9Kwxf7
The initial plan is to hike down into the ravine to explore/climb up and down the clay formations a bit, then we can travel down the cold-water, clay-lined creek toward the railroad tracks/Pearl River. We'll take the railroad tracks to the derailed traincars. Anticipated water levels due to rain indicate the Pearl will be too swollen to visit the sandbar on the river, so from here we'll loop back up to the rim via the wall climb (some light rope action).
Recommended supplies:
Plenty of water
Comfortable shoes you don't mind getting wet/dirty
Wicking clothes you don't mind getting wet/dirty (see the theme!)
Hat, natural sunscreen, natural bug repellant
Snacks/lunch
Change of clothes for the drive home
This is NOT a cleanup per se, but we always bring a few trash bags with us to remove litter, especially recyclables. This is a moderately difficult hike due to the elevation change down and back up, but the weather forecast indicates it won't be too terribly hot (high of 83 degrees), which will make it much more manageable.
