In spite of the cold weather, the club met for a loop hike in the Sipsey Wilderness on Saturday, January 17. We started at the Borden Trailhead, crossed the bridge and followed the path down the west side of Borden Creek to trail 209. We followed that along the river to the junction with trail 204 which we then took north to its end at trail 224. We returned to the trailhead on 224.
The distance must have been about 12 miles and it took us just under 8 hours. All the trails were in good shape except 224 which has a number of downed trees blocking the path.
The icicles on the bluffs along Borden Creek and the Sipsey were exceptional. The winter scenery from Bee Ridge was a treat as well.
