Enjoy the ups and downs of rugged hiking by traveling through 6 ravines. Climb ladders, enjoy beautiful vistas, and chase down a waterfall or two. Plan on 2-3 hours to complete the hike. Complete the designated loop in one consecutive hike and take pictures of the highlighted locations along the way. Upon completion, show your pictures to park staff at the Shades State Park gatehouse or at the Turkey Run State Park Nature Center to earn a sticker you can buy for $1. Start at the Hickory Shelter, which is the only source of water and restrooms on the challenge. Portions of the hiking challenge may be impassable after large rainfalls.
