Buffalo River Trail, portion south of Steel Creek (January, 2009)

 
At about a half mile the trail drops down to Steel Creek and follows it for a bit, across a utility clearing and to a point where you have to cross the creek.  I've read in the guidebooks that in rainy weather this can be a pretty wet crossing.  They area had had a decent rain about a week before, so the creek had water, but crossing it was just a series of hopping on the right rocks.

The creek was very pretty and the water was just as clear as it could be.  For no reason we just seemed to linger here a moment enjoying the water, the rocks, the whole scene.  Certainly worth a pause!
