This is the most popular day hike in the area. Horton Spring is an unusually large spring. Water literally gushes from the side of the rim supplying Horton Creek. Think of the Rim as a huge sponge and Horton Spring is the faucet. Okay on to the trail. Starting from the parking area cross the concrete bridge. Continue on the pavement up the hill heading towards the campgrounds. The trailhead is on the left side of this road. Check out the trail information and hit the trail. First you will go down and cross the creek. The creek is typically dry in this area as it runs underground in limestone caverns for the first half mile. The trail is wide and easy to follow as it's an old jeep trail. Before then it was just a narrow trail to connect homesteads in the area.
We will meet between 10:30-11am and start hiking at 11. The log book will be available for that 30 minute window for anyone wanting to come and say hello but not hike.
This is a hike at your own pace kind of hike. Know your limitations and plan accordingly. Lots of water and sturdy shoes are a must!
