Itinerary:

The hike is approximately 10 miles round trip with an average to above average hiking speed. We will start at the top of the falls at the trailhead. From the trailhead, we will hike the AT Approach trail for 4 miles. We will turn onto the Len Foote Trial and hike a mile to Len Foote hike Inn. We will stop at the Inn for a break and to eat a snack/lunch. We will continue back via the Len Foote route.

Please plan on bringing a small lunch and snack since we will be dropping by the Hike Inn for a break. The Inn will often have some bread, dessert or fruit left over from dinner the night before that you can take in exchange for tips for the Inn employees but this is not guaranteed. There are generally beverages as well, including hot water for tea and cocoa, so you can warm up before heading back down the trail.
