Itinerary:

As an Adventure Coach who is training for upcoming adventures, I need to train locally on a weekly basis. This is one of my favorite hikes since it includes good elevation gain with decent mileage that I can do at a fast pace. The trails are well marked and there's plenty to see, including the Hike Inn, which have restrooms available at 3 points - Top of Falls, Visitor Center, and Hike Inn. Feel free to ask me questions along the way about anything outdoors and I'll try my best to answer them.
This is a fitness hike for intermediate to advanced hikers. The hike is approximately 12 miles round trip with an above average hiking speed (3mph) and only one rest break. We’re going to start from the bottom of the falls, near the park store, and hike up waterfall stairs to the trailhead. From the trailhead, we will hike the AT Approach Trail and return back via the Len Foote Hike Inn Trail and down the Approach coming in behind the Visitor Center. We should be back early afternoon.

Please plan on bringing a small lunch and snack since we will be dropping by the Len Foote Inn for a quick 10-15 minute break.
