Snow & Leipers Seesaw!
Hillsboro Elementary School, 5412 Pinewood Road in Leipers Fork, Franklin 37064
On Saturday Durk will try again to lead from Hillsboro School down to Santa Fe. It's a flatter route than normal and goes back and forth from Leipers Creek to Snow Creek multiple times! We'll go down Fox Branch and Leipers Creek to Fly and Water Valley, and then go out the southernmost end of Leipers Creek to Snow Creek. Then we'll take Snow Creek to the rest stop at Santa Fe at mile 28. Then we'll get back on Snow Creek, climb Godwin, and go along Chestnut Ridge until we see the big blue water tower indicating than Snow Creek is again near! Then we'll enjoy the pleasant downhill on Sulphur Springs and come back in on Leipers Creek for 7 miles. The full route is 47 miles. There's a Short option of 41 miles that skips the southern segment of Leipers Creek and takes Water Valley over to the rest stop before coming in by Gaskilll Branch and Skelley. Here are the maps and cue sheets:
