Hike to a magnificent free falling waterfall in Pisgah National Forest!

Join us for this lovely outing on Tuesday, Nov. 18 near Brevard. Once we arrive at trailhead parking, after introductions and a brief overview, the group will then hike .7 miles up the trail to Moore’s Cove Falls.

The trail is well maintained with an elevation gain of only 154 feet to get to the falls. We will take about an hour to reach the falls, stopping to admire the stream and forest views. We will learn a bit about stream ecology and water quality as well as Pisgah National Forest. We will spend about 30-45 minutes at the falls.

We will meet at 9:30 a.m. in West Asheville and carpool, or if you prefer, you can meet us at a location near the trailhead at 10:15 a.m. Do the two things below to sign up for this hike:
