This section can be treacherous.The stairs were iced over making the descent slippery. Once, at the bottom you will come to the junction with the connector Trail. Stay to the right and continue on the Big Creek Gulf Trail.
Continue on the Big Creek Trail, it follows the creek for 3 miles. Little over a mile the trail reaches Ranger Fall Trail junction. It is out the way, and some times not accessible. You have to cross the creek to trek the trail. Unfortunately, it was to dangerous to cross.
Continue following the creek until you are at the ascent, about a half mile from Alum Gap.
Once, at the top you have reached Alum Gap. There are multiple options Greeter Falls, Laurel Trail, and Big Creek Rim Trail. Since, Ranger Falls was not accessible we followed the Greeter Trail.

Note: During Icy conditions Greeter Falls is closed
Follow the trail back to Alum Gap and follow Big Creek Rim Trail. This trail is fairly flat making it an easier hike back to the Ranger Station. Great views from the overlooks, but use caution because they are exposed. Keep children under control. 3.2 miles later you will return to the junction with Stone Door Trail. From Stone Door Overlook head back to the Ranger Station.
