Sat, Nov 17 2012 - Raven Cliffs - Waterfalls, Views and Off-Trail (View Original Event Details) Trip Leader(s): David M Participants: David M, Liz R, Doug, Mark, Allan, Mike Cotti, Richard K

David, Mark, Mike, Liz, Richard, Allan and Doug enjoyed a day of much warmer weather than expected and a variety of both terrain and hiking challenges:  a short steep hike on the AT to begin in the early crisp temperatures, the views from Wildcat Mountain, decent time on the off-trail foray into thick rhododendron and briars and occasional steep terrain but pretty much on track, adventures up and down both sides of Raven Cliff Falls and luncheon views from the top, trips down to waterfalls below from the Raven Cliff Falls trail with one brave soul getting in the cold water to their knees and adventurous exploration of beautiful secret waterfalls upstream from Duke's Creek Falls after viewing that falls from the top.  A packed day with many sights and sounds and adventures!
