Itinerary:

We park at Warwoman Dell, 3 miles from Clayton on Warwoman Rd. Almost immediately upon leaving the trailhead (1884 ft), marked by a plaque to William Bartram, we come to the first of the two waterfalls on this hike, a two-level cascade on Becky Branch. For the next half hour we hike roughly parallel to Warwoman Rd, then swing north and soon pick up Martin Creek, a picture-book creek with grassy banks and pebbly riverbed as well as swirling rapids and a spectacular falls, viewed from a platform. Leaving the creek, we steadily ascend through open woods to before Courthouse Gap and take a side trail to Pinnacle Knob (3141 ft), which offers a splendid 180-degree view.

Pace is moderately fast (around 2.5 mph) on the way up and faster on the return (2.8 to 3.0 mph). If you aren't sure you can do this pace, please don't sign up.
