Our family enjoyed the hike and the falls. This is wilderness at its best!!!!. However someone siphoned about 10 Gallons of gas out of our vehicle while we were on the trail 4 hours.

Raven Cliff Falls Trail is one of the best trails I have hiked in GA. It is a nice path along the stream in a nice forest setting. Most of the trip is in a scenic forest floor and is cool on a hot day. There is one section that can be quite slippery after a rain.

Hiked Raven Cliff Falls Trail 04/03/2005. Crossing the log "bridge" near the beginning of the trail nearly changed my mind as I was worried about falling into the water but with the help of an overhanging branch and my fiance I made it across. Trail is beautiful with plenty of spots to rest along the way. There are a few spots that are quite slick that you have to climb so caution is advised. There is a tree down near the end of the trail at the falls. For people who don't like heights, I advise not looking down and having someone help you across as quickly as possible since it's a bit hair-raising. At least it was for me. The falls are beautiful. There is a bit of a climb up to the upper falls which we chose not to take but will definitely try next time when we have more time. The hike back to the parking area is much easier and seems to take a lot less time. There is one slick spot after the log "bridge" that you have to watch for. I managed to sprain my ankle but luckily the remaining distance of the trail back to the parking area wasn't far and was easy. We look forward to going back as soon as I'm healed up and we have a pretty day off.

This trail was a lot of fun to hike; i hiked it about a month ago in March on a warm day. It's a moderate trail with many easy spots. It could use some maintenance on several parts, which is probably why that warning starts the description, but it doesn't keep you from hiking it. It might if it was raining. I agree with the last post that one of the downed trees in particular is very precarious to cross. The bridge near the beginning is totally 'destroyed' from last fall's hurricanes - it's still there, but upsidedown with several downed trees washed under it. the creek there is very shallow, and the bridge is quite stable even though it's not firmly attached to the ground. Several of the steep parts (which are numerous but all fairly short) are a little washed out, one notable 20 feet nearly straight up portion you sorta have to climb up newly exposed tree roots. Most of the streams or marshy areas that cross the path to meet the creek have bridges or rocks to cross on; one stretch is nearly in the creek, not elevated at all. I wouldn't attempt it just after a hard rain unless you want to wade in. There are many falls/cascades on the creek next to the trail the whole time - some are more beautiful than the falls at the top; the scenery along the hike is awesome, and definitely worth the effort. There's a $2 parking fee, and restrooms in the parking lot.

We hiked this trail over the 2/18/05 weekend. It has awesome scenery. The trail is mostly easy, with some moderate spots. Due to storm damage, there is one creek that must be forded by scaling a fallen tree and another spot you must climb over a fallen tree (this area is very high and somewhat precarious, especially for anyone with a fear of heights.) Otherwise, the scenery along the trail and the falls are worth the effort of the hike.

A nice day hike. One I would recommend. A little busy at times. With the creek always in view it makes for a pleasant day.

We hiked Raven Cliff Falls in November of 2004 (11 people). We met several dogs on the trail which was fun! The day was unseasonably warm and we were overdressed. We shed our jackets and had a pleasant hike to the falls. It was a beautiful hike! You follow the river most of the way up. It was steep in places, and it is not an easy hike, but moderate. The rain damage from the recent hurricaine was evident when we got closer to the top -- but it was worth it. I would definitely do this one again. Several places to camp along the river.

A nice way to spend a day with my wife. The constant sound of the creek and many small falls is a reason this is such a high traffic place. New Years Eve was beautiful weather with maybe 30 people on the trail in the afternoon. A few loose dogs didn't spoil the day. We appreciated those who had theirs on a leash as we did. This should be a very pretty spot in spring, though the crowds on a weekend could be a problem. Only in 1 place did the trail have to be rerouted due to storms. The Falls are nice, I will be back.

I have never hiked this trail and after reading the various comments I doubt that I will ever. I am single and always take my dogs with me when I go hiking. They are friendly and love children. They like to explore! When hiking I have seen more litter from human beings than I ever see from dogs! Furthermore my dogs are better behaved than any of the children that I encounter on most of my trips! Give dog owners a break. I would never bring a dog to a public place that would endanger another animal or human being. There is more danger from the stupidity of human beings than from dogs! To all dog owners I have taken my dogs to Monteagle, TN where the college campus has 20 miles of rarely used trails and you can let your dogs run loose for a while. IT IS BEAUTIFUL and only 3.5 hours from Atlanta. Furthermore, they have at least 3 hotels that allow pets.
Sunday, September 19, 2004
The trail was nice! Not difficult at all; gentle rolling ups-and-downs, with one or two steep spots at overlooks and right at Raven's Cliff. Fantastic views of the river, including several smaller waterfalls and rapids, and there were a few soggy spots on the trail itself. A good 'bring-your-lunch-and-a-camera-along' hike!

Sunday, February 15, 2004 The day started off cold (~37F) and dreary. I wanted to hike and I looked at this as an opportunity to hit one of the more popular trails that I would normally avoid when the weather is nice. Raven’s Cliffs fit the bill very well. Sure enough, as I entered the parking lot, there were no other vehicles around. The rain came down very steadily so the trail was muddy and the water pooled in puddles across the trail. My spirits, however, were not dampened. The water flow through the creek was high and I was excited to see the cascades and fall at the end of the hike. About halfway through the hike, the rain turned to hail briefly, then to snow. I couldn’t believe it since it wasn’t expected, but it snowed the rest of the afternoon. Within 30 minutes, the entire forestscape was covered in white. All was peaceful except for the roar of the creek below. It was never far away, so even though the snow covered the trail, I knew I could not get lost as long as I stayed close to the running water. I took a break near the top of the trail and another diehard came hiking up. He had hiked the area before, but wanted to walk the trail when there wouldn’t be may others around. We talked for a few minutes, then went on our own ways. I was starting to get cold and wet (waterproofing doesn’t do much when your waterlogged!), so I hit the trail again at a pretty good pace to warm up. Eventually the snow stopped and I made it back to the parking lot in great spirits. It was a great day to be on the trail. I rate the hike as moderate-to-difficult, mostly due to the weather conditions. I highly recommend you try the hike on weekdays or at times when crowds won’t be too large. Enjoy!

"nobody ever thinks his dog will harm a child" Ok, if a person is not a responsible pet owner, then I can assure you that dog will not be on the trail. You don't feel that way about deer and bear do you? Of course you think they'll harm your child, so you don't let them get to close, right? Or are you an irresponsible parent? Alright then, if your child is wandering up to strange animals (deer bear dog whatever) and trying to pet them, it's time to do some serious thinking about how you've raised them because you have no business taking those children into the wilderness.

Hiked Raven Cliff Falls Trail 13 Sep 03. Had made an earlier treak to the top of Brasstown Bald in the morning, so my wife and I were warmed up for the trail. This trails runs along Dodd Creek and the cascades, falls and areas to wet your feet are numerous. We hiked this trail on Saturday so there were lots of day hikers and campers on the trail. Trail is narrow in places and has marshy places. The trail leaves the creek in one area an you begin a gentle ascent and then return to the creek just as ou get to the falls. The climb to the actual falls is a bit treacherous with steep terrain and loose rocks but we made it without incident. We are both 50 and not in the most physically fit condition; so keep that in mind. The trail was easy and we really enjoyed the falls. This is definitely one of the most unique waterfalls I have seen. Well worth the 62 minute treak in. Wife waded in the pools below the falls; while I took photos. We had a great time! If you have limited energy, please save it and make this hike to see Raven Cliff Falls.

Our family hiked it in November 2002. It was just beautiful even in the rain that just wouldn't let up! We loved how trail follows cascades most of the way. The trail is highly used, though, and can get crowded. One of my favorite GA hikes.
hiked this beautiful trail on saturday july 12, 2003..started at about 230pm ended round trip at 6pm temp 84 degrees partly cloudy to clear hiked this trail with a novice hiker who certianly expressed a different view from what i normally would have had hiking solo..very well maintained trail and views along the way made effort worth every step. the end of the trail and the raven cliffs and falls were a surprise to me..nothing along the trail made any hints that there would be a 100 ft plus bluff of rock with such a beautiful and powerful waterfalls..water in creek was crystal clear dispite all the recent rains and it was so cold that we could only soak our feet for only about 40 sec before the cold started to numb them at the end of our hike...watch out for roots and stumps on the trail, a hiking stick was a welcomed partner and we had several people comment to us that they wished they had brought one..one hiker even offered to buy one of ours..slick spots are numberous at low spots..some incline but you almost dont notice until the very end and the short inclice to the falls and top is worth every step...lug soles will make this trail much more easy..almost every inch is covered which brings the temp down significantly...in fall and spring a lite coat probably be a good idea..and dont forget water..seems when i hike close to a stream i get more thirsty, i guess its the pscyological thing huh?
Monday, June 9, 2003
I have been on this trail with my dogs, children, husband, father, and other friends and relatives. Responsible pet owners and responsible parents keep pets and children from bothering others on the trail, but should also tolerate them and accept their right to be there. I have a little claustrophobia sometimes--but we don't have to ban closets!

Ladies and Gents, My wife and I returned to Raven Cliffs for the first time since September 1994. The last time, we had a 23-month-old little girl and a 3-week-old little boy. Today we had a 10-year-old girl and 8- and 5-year-old boys. My cup runneth over. This hike was more enjoyable - and the cliffs more awesome - than either of us had remembered. That may be due, in part, to the fact that this was our first winter hike to Raven Cliffs and thus the trail-side stream had much more water and the winter-bare trees allowed a much more impressive view of the cliffs. The stream was really splashing and crashing today and the tween-the-rocks waterfall impressive. I had heard that the root-ladder was now off limits, but discovered that is the case practically as well as legally. The terrain immediately below the bottom of the root ladder was a sheer, wet, clay bank that would be very difficult to climb. This was a big change from 9/94 when we climbed the root ladder to the top. Now the hike to the top climbs a steep incline with treacherous footing (loose rock, slick bare spots, and narrow ledges). The view from the top is nice, but in my humble opinion isn't worth the risk if you have children along. Better to stop about one-third of the way up where you can admire the really nice waterfall between the rocks. No need to go up further. We saw lots of nice dogs. We were the only party with children (but they were nice too).I think my wife and I consider this the second best hiking trail in Georgia (after Jacks River Falls in the Cohutta Wilderness Area). Best to you good folks, Dan RoperRome, GA

I have recently hiked this trail about 3 time in the last month. I think it is absurb how some people react when they see dogs. I have a german shepherd and a Basset hound and hike with them regularly. Last time I went I ran across a family with 2 little keds. The mom screamed as if she had seen a bear when I walked by her. For god sakes they are just dogs. As for other people that have posted comments to ban dogs you are nuts. I always bring my pooper scooper with me and even if I did not they are animals and it is natural for them to poop!! Don't you all poop?? Stop acting like you like hiking if you cannot even stand the smell of poop in the wilderness. What do you do when you smell deer poop, or better yet bear poop? Do you scream at the bear for defecating on the groung? why dont you try potty training it!!!!!!!!! Do it and tell me how it goes.

Hiked Raven Cliff Falls Trail yesterday, November 2nd, and found it to be clean - not a spec of trash or evidence of dogs, other than those walking with their owners, anywhere.It was moderately busy but overall fun, clean and in good condition. Reports of trash or other mess on the trails seems to be greatly exaggerated below.Round trip hike, including a climb to the top of the falls and a stop to enjoy the view at the top took about 3-3.5 hours
Monday, October 14, 2002
I first was introduced to this great trail in 1992. Back then few people new about it and you spend a weekend there and only see a couple of other hikers. Now on a Sunday there might be 30 or 40 cars along the road by the trail. If you can go during the week you will enjoy it much more. The trail has recently been overhiked and you can see the damage from grafity to washes. It is still a good trial, but maybe you could bring an extra trash bag to bring out the mess others have left.
Monday, September 9, 2002
To Kate Broun: I just saw your pics!! Good stuff. I am intimately familiar with the trail, and appreciated your pics. Word of advice: DO NOT HANDLE THE MILLIPEDES!! They have some sort of staining yellow acidic and smelly discharge that they spray all over you if you handle them. Thanks for the pics. I appreciate it!!
Sunday, September 1, 2002
I have not yet hiked Raven Cliff, however I came to this site to get some info. Apparently there have been some inconsiderate and irresponsible dog owners on the trail and this has REALLY upset some people. As a person who loves to take her 2 dogs on hikes, I feel that people should take more responsibility of their dogs. On the other hand, people who are not dog owners should respect those that are. It is the same about children. I don't have children, but I respect responsible parents. You should be frightened of strange dogs and respect them. I warn people not to pet my dogs even though one of them is nice. As a woman who sometimes hikes by herself I will continue to take my dogs. I felt the need to write this because there seems to be a lot of dog issues on this trail.

We've done a few car camping trips here and always had a good time. Sure it's a little crowded, but I don't think it's as much of a problem as some people do. There are tons of camping spots, so as far as I'm concerned, it's not a problem. Great to be able to camp right along a creek, too. I've posted a few pictures from one of our trips. See them here: http://www.katebroun.com/gallery/outdoors/raven/index.shtml
Friday, August 9, 2002
As should be done at any place, please leave it cleaner than you found it and everone will be more grateful for places like this.
Thursday, August 8, 2002heltonWell it began by a nice swim in a pool early in the hike, then a nice relexing rest by the camp fire. Tho soon campers told us about bears coming, so we left for the car. We returned to our camp and then fell asleep, and when i woke up our pasta sauce had been ripped open, and later the next day other hikers showed us pictures on their digital camera, of bears walking on our tents.
Sunday, July 7, 2002
Please, the other recreationists that have been banned from the cliffs...i.e. Rappellers... have been banned because of the roots. Please do not climb them. I am no longer able to do what I like to do because of that tree, why should anyone else be allowed to as well? All of our dollars paid for such a wonderful place. If one group should have to watch from the bottom, so should all others. Besides, vertical ropeworkers, if required are able to find alternate ways to the top, if the erosion of the root system is the true reason from being banned from rappelling.
Monday, July 1, 2002
Hiked Sunday 30 June 2002. Left parking area 3:30 p.m. Beautiful day hike. 1 hour in, 1 hour back, with about 45 minutes at the falls if you plan to explore fully. Up to the right of the cliff there are some roots you can climb up to the top, very much like rock climbing, fun but tricky. Root climbers are rewarded with a vista view from atop the cliff, as well as the view of an additional upper waterfall. Use extra caution going back down the root wall. Didn't see a single blue blaze but not a problem as the trail is well travelled. Be careful on the return, as close to the parking lot the trail forks, and taking the road more travelled(left) shoots you out onto 348 instead of the parking area. Simply turn right and follow road 1/2 mile to trailhead parking. Not sure what all the commotion concerning congestion/trash/dogs, but for a Sunday afternoon is was not very busy at all. Didn't see any trash and the dogs we saw were all well behaved. Fortunately no bears... Highly recommended. *Anyone using the "Hiking Georgia" book as a reference beware that the directions are incorrect. You turn left on Alt 75 north of Helen, not the implied right onto 356.
Monday, June 24, 2002
Have they reopened it for rappelling yet? Love that place! Dude, about the bear!!! You've seen more than I have there, as far as wildlife goes. One hell of a trail. Easy, and beautiful. And the falls are worth the hike. Great to cool off in a well if it's hot. Colin Berry
Sunday, June 23, 2002
Coming from Atlanta it was raining all the way, yet by the time I got to the trailhead it was only slightly overcast. The slippery comment by the forest service is no joke, I lost footing a couple of times not to mention the time that I was challenged by a bear..Yeah a real live one on its hind legs...kinda freaky. The falls looked great with some good campsites that I am sure to visit.
Thursday, April 25, 2002
HERE IS THE FUUNY THING, DOGS ARE ANIMALS ... LIKE BIRDS,BEARS , DEER, SQUIRRELS,AND ALL THE OTHER CREATURES YOU MIGHT SEE ON THIS HIKE...SO FOR ALL YOU BABIES AND WHINERS WITH YOUR NICE BOOTS THAT YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT WHEN THEY GET SCUFFED OR DIRTY OR EVEN GET A LITTLE WET...MAYBE YOU SHOULD HEAD BACK TO THE OFFICE AND PRETEND YOU KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THE OUTDOORS AND NATURE.... JUST BECAUSE DOG POOP MIGHT NOT SMELL SO GOOD IT IS JUST AS NATURAL AS ALL THE OTHER DEER AND BEAR POOP... AND WHEN IT BREAKS DOWN INTO THE SOIL IT PROVIDES ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS THE SOIL NEEDS TO STAY CLEAN...IT IS UNDERSTANDABLE THAT IF A DOG DROPS ONE IN THE CENTER OF A TRAIL THE OWNER SHOULD MOVE IT OFF TRAIL BUT LETS GET REALISTIC..WHY DO YOU THINK THERE ARE NO DOG TOILETS.?? MAYBE BECAUSE THEY NATURALLY GO OUTSIDE...AND IF YOU STILL THINK IT IS SUCH A BIG DEAL.. MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO UP TO THE NEXT BEAR YOU SEE AND YELL AT HIM FOR NOT PICKING UP HIS SCAT..SEE WHAT HE SAYS BACK TO YOU.
Tuesday, April 2, 2002
I hiked that trail 15 years ago and the roots were out then...So were all of the camping sites and garbage. Anyway, I took up rappelling a few years after that and that place is a favorite. Even survived a tornado there July 4, 1997. Breaks my heart that it is closed to rappelling. Also, I've never had a problem with the dogs. Public place, and all.

stinky trail.1
Wednesday, January 16, 2002
Beware! The restrooms are closed for the winter!
Sunday, November 4, 2001
Awesome trail! The trail is not strenous but it does have a few , very short inclines just enough to help build up the hiking legs! There were quite a few people on the trail today, but it wasn't too crowded. Watch out for the rocks and tree roots that sometimes hide in the leaves but still stick out just enough to trip you. The waterfall at the end was well worth the hike.
Thursday, October 25, 2001
You people who don't have dogs need to get a life. If people did clean up after thier dogs, just where do you expect to put "IT"? The outdoors is where animals thrive and belong, and unless you have a way of cleaning up after the deer, bears, rabbits and allthe other creatures, keep your mouths shut, and quit your whining. Lighten up and toughen up.
Sunday, September 30, 2001
My sister and I hiked to Raven Cliffs on Sun. Sept. 30th and it was great! It was very pretty and not too crowded, believe it or not. They have changed where the trail begins so I thought I would send out a warning. You can still start where the parking is on the side of the scenic highway, but now they actually have a parking area on the left side that is clearly marked. They are suppose to open the restrooms there around Oct. 15th which will be nice.:) Be careful on your way back from your hike because the two entrances meet each other and if you're not careful you will end your hike at the old trail head and have to make a hike back to the new parking area by way of the highway. I highly reccomend this hike!It is a great place!
Tuesday, August 28, 2001
I've been twice in the last month, and it wasn't crowded at all. I saw no more than 15 people on either visit. I think since the Forest Service closed the cliffs to rappeling and climbing, it isn't as popular, which is great! This is one of the most enjoyable and beautiful hikes in Georgia, and it's a great place to enjoy with friends or alone.
Wednesday, August 15, 2001
Are the cliffs open yet for rapelling again?
Monday, May 28, 2001
We cannot wait to check out this trail, hope we don't step into dog crap on the way, sounds like a lot of stinky dog people have made it theirs and their dogs trail. People are really going to the dogs!
Sunday, April 29, 2001
People who bring big dogs are inconsiderate of everyone else. They are also litterbugs, as they don't clean up after their dogs. Naturally, nobody thiks his dog will ever harm a child.
Tuesday, February 20, 2001
I hiked it yesterday, it took me 2 hours to find the trailhead. I took 356 like it said, but you are suppose to take 75 alt to 348. Or you can just follow the senic byway signs when you start leaving helen. I got there around six and stated but had to turn around because it was getting to dark. I plan to go again this Firday. I ran into some Road Closed signs also, they have closed the the scenic byway for some reason, but i just went around them.
Monday, February 5, 2001
I hiked the trail last Friday. It was a nice walk. I haven't hiked since last Summer, so even the flat terrain gave my legs a workout. I've heard and read that it is very crowded on weekends. I recommend taking a day off and going on a Friday or Monday. I met a group of four and another woman and her dog Cousteau so it wasn't at all crowded. I could see the effects of heavy usage of this trail. There was a sign at the trailhead stating that the cliffs were closed to rapelling. I could see why. There is major erosion. Alot of roots exposed and loose rocks. All in all a nice trail.
Saturday, December 2, 2000
don't go on the weekends. there are too many people
Monday, October 30, 2000
This trail is great for everyone. There are 3-4 sets of nice waterfalls, and the trail never gets too far form the creek, so you can always here it babbling by. The climb to the top of the main fall is well worth the effort. The view is spectacular. The walk back is all downhill.
Thursday, September 21, 2000
Plenty of tree roots (exposed) and rocks. A couple of trees across the trail. Only found four trees marked in blue. Great "real" trail. Offers a little of everything for the trail hound. Next time we are going to the top of the cliffs. The books describe it as a truly unique sight. It is.
Tuesday, September 5, 2000
Great camping along this trail.
Friday, July 28, 2000
This is a great trail for beginners and families and dogs. I enjoy seeing the dogs out exploring myself. For those who like a challenge- climb the tree roots hanging beside the cliff to see the beautiful view from the top of the cliff wall. Be careful of the huge hole at the top of the roots. Don't jump forward when reaching the top.
Monday, July 24, 2000
Great trail, not bad rapelling either (for beginners). Anyone know how high the cliffs are? I've heard 75 to 110 ft.
Monday, July 17, 2000
This is a great trail for dogs. There is one spot, however, where they will need some help. Watch out for paranoid people with wimpy and whiny kids. If your kid is a wimp, don't bring him/her. This trail should be designated at a dog hiker's trail and therefore, expect to see many dogs. It's a wonderful thing! If your kids are afraid of dogs, find another trail or buy them a dog and help them get over their fear. Then you can take YOUR dog on the trail.
Monday, July 17, 2000
This trail is a delight to hike, even in the hottest summer months. Because the forests are so dense and the river so steep, the temperature on the trail is about 15 degrees F cooler than what you feel in the parking lot. There are a couple of places where children should be watched and helped. Even though Raven Falls is 3.5 miles in the woods, expect the hike to "seem" shorter. I would recommend this hike to my friends with children over 9 and over.
Monday, June 26, 2000
There were a lot of people on this trail, but the falls along the way and at the end were nice. Not good if you want seclusion, but a nice hike just to enjoy nature with friends. There are plenty of places to camp at the beginning. Don't go in January when it's 15 degrees at night!
Wednesday, May 24, 2000
Very beautiful mountain stream. The campsites are a little overused. I suggest LNT camping to help the campsite recover from overuse.
Saturday, April 1, 2000
Hey James E Dean, Your bratty kids shouldn't be allowed on the trails. They scare my dogs!! I've seen way more trash and damage done on these trails by humans than any dog. These trails aren't for whiners so stay home!!
Friday, March 10, 2000
its a beautiful hike and the rewards are worth it especially if you tend to wonder beyond the marked trail as i do. exploring the waterfalls and cliffs themselves was the highlight.
Monday, March 6, 2000
This trail is a great day hike or overnighter. The stream provides several great spots to relax and enjoy the cooling waters. There are several camping areas suited for different sized groups.
Tuesday, February 22, 2000
I've heard this referred to as Raven Cliff Grotto, which I feel is a more appropriate name. It is a lovely grotto too, especially in the early spring when the sunshine basks the hardwoods and ferns beside the trail in the bright green of new vegetation.
Friday, December 3, 1999
great hike, great fishing, crowded in mid-Novemebr
Sunday, November 7, 1999
Dogs or pets should not be allowed on the trail .They scare the children and dirty the walkway. There should be some signs along the way to tell you how much further to go. The Falls and trees were beautiful.
Friday, October 22, 1999
The trail was a beautiful escape from the everyday routine. The trail drifted cut through mountain sides like the old poineers of yesterday. The leaves and greenery were exquisite and the smell of autumn was abondant throughout the trail. I loved the mossy covered banks and the running water, which made a nice picnic site for the hungry travelers. I would move this vista into my backyard if it would fit in the trunk.

Very easy trail. Good one for beginners and families. Directions on the map section refer to Ga Highway 356. Ignore that as the road is only marked as ALT 75. Once you take the trailhead and go towards the creek & go to the right as the trail is not marked and the falling leaves can confuse you at this point. Other than that it is very scenic and a lot of fun.
Saturday, August 21, 1999
Primitive campsites are located at the head of the trail. It is also possible to climb to the top of the cliffs and look down the spout (we even saw people rapelling off of them once!)
Sunday, August 15, 1999
Its a good trail to start getting your hiking legs.
Tuesday, August 10, 1999
This trail was awsome. i am not big into hiking and backpacking but if i find more trails like this one then i will be hooked!
