Itinerary:
This hike is to two lovely N GA waterfalls: Raven Cliff Falls and Dukes Creek Falls

Raven Cliff Falls trail is just about 2.5 miles one way and gains about 550 feet on the way out. So 5 miles round trip but mostly all downhill on the way back.

Dukes Creek Falls trail is only a couple miles round trip although it does have about 350 feet of elevation change. So both hikes together are about a D3.

We will go to Dukes Creek Falls first...note: there is a $3 parking fee there. After Raven Cliff Falls, if we are doing OK on time, we can still stop at Papa's Pizza on the way back for lunch...they have a reasonably priced buffet.
