Thirteen Trailblazers braved a cold, cloudy, and windy day to hike up to the Arkansas Sphinx and Pam's Grotto. We had several new victims for both of these uphill hikes.

There were a few slips, minor falls, and one thorny incident but overall we made it with everyone intact.  The Grotto falls actually had some flowing water and icy rocks at the bottom and the view from the Sphinx was great even though it was cloudy. We ate lunch on the rocks by Haw Creek then headed home.

Next week we hike Sam's Throne.
