Note: This is an "EXPLORATORY" trip. This means that there are parts of this trip, or perhaps the whole trip, that is new to your Trip Leader(s). However, they are confident that this will not be an issue. This note is here so that you can make an informed decision. When a Trip Leader isn't personally familiar with a trip, there is an increased chance of things not going as planned and you need to be prepared. The Trip Leader may have additional details in the itinerary. | |||||||
Itinerary: | |||||||
This
is actually Station Cove Falls to
Tamassee Knob & then Hidden Falls.
This is on the low end
of a D5 and a good one for those
wanting to transition from D4 to D5.
Starting at the Station Cove Falls
parking lot, a connector trail takes
us to the falls, which has a
beautiful 60' cascade. Heading out on
the Palmetto trail there's a steady
moderate climb to the Tamassee Knob
Trail. This trail rolls along some
gaps & peaks. At the top of Tamassee
Knob you are rewarded with a rock
ledge with an expansive view of the
Blue Ridge Mountains. Returning back
to the start of the spur trail we pick
up the Foothills trail to the Hidden
Falls spur trail. At the end is the
50' secluded Hidden Falls. After the
climb back up from the falls, it's
mostly downhill (or flat) back to the
cars.
We
will stop at the Spotted Pig http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-
spotted-pig-fair-play?nb=1 on the
way home for dinner. If you do not
wish to stop, please make sure you to
drive yourself or with someone else
returning directly to Atlanta. You MUST have recent D4 history with AOC to be placed on this event. Depart carpool 8AM Trailhead departure 10AM Return to trailhead 4:15PM Back to carpool (just depends if you are having dinner) Thanks to Beth H. for the event writeup.
