  • Clabo's cabin. Just where we leave the gorge is impossible to indicate here; however, the spot will be marked before we take this hike. Mr. Clabo is now to be consulted on the shortest route back to the orchard, and don't THINK of finding it by instinct without his instructions—too many of lis have tried that, almost to our utter collapse. Soon we're off for a good supper at Gatlinburg—and watch the pep come bouncing back! Leave Saunders System at 1 P. M. Round- trip hiking distance about 12 miles. Trail steep and extremely rough. Elevation 6,580 feet. Take food for 3 meals and don't forget a candle lantern or flashlight. Leaders: Helen Northup (Phone 2—4546) and D. Frank Holtman (Phone 2—4538). April 13 RAINBOW FALLS Are you one of those who have not felt equal to the climb to the top of Mt. LeConte, yet who would like to see Rainbow Falls? Well, we have planned this trip just for you! Heretofore, this peer of all beauty spots has been a high-light in our LeConte trip, but now it is our destination— and there are very few places so charming and inspiring. There are numerous routes by which Mt. Le Conte may be ascended or descended. The club has used nine of these routes, and our members know that the LeConte creek trail is the most beautiful of all—and that the prettiest part of this trail is below the Falls. Thus, you see, you have a treat in store for you. There will be ample time to permit you to just saunter along, looking to the right and to the left, stopping to "absorb" some of the grandeur that is everywhere along this trail. Never was there so much of wilderness beauty in a short 2 miles. You will want to sit on the thick carpet of moss with which every stone or log is covered and count the many kinds of spring flowers that surround you. 25
