Dolly Sods River Crossing

We walked across this stream the day before without even getting the bottom of our boots wet by rock hopping, but a day later after 2 inches or so of rain, this became an interesting crossing. In this video Nick is the first to go across so that we can tie a rope and then get everyone else across. This stream is so insignificant I can't even find a name for it.

this is where you cross over from red creek to breathed moutain trail, I'm not sure this creek even has a name, its usually so small

Dang, dudes! That was intense!

Nice vid. I can't wait to get back out to dolly sods. I think it might be safer to cross that swollen creek without the pack. I think he'd have better balance and could get up more easily if he were to fall. Thanks for sharing.

@pburglooser Thats what I was thinkin'. Was this in the spring or after a storm?

Would it be "Red Creek? If your in the valley on Red Creek Trail and crossing to Breathed Mountain trail to head up the mountain, then this is "Red Creek"

Kinda looks like where you cross from the red creek trail over to the Big StoneCoal trail. If it is it was alot lower when I had to cross it.
