Hike to a magnificent freefalling waterfall in Pisgah National Forest near Brevard!

We will meet in West Asheville at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, May 12. Those who would like to do so can carpool. Once we arrive at trailhead parking, after introductions and a brief overview, the  group will then hike .75 miles up the trail to Moore’s Cove Falls. This is a relatively easy hike on a well-maintained trail 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 minutes at the falls which you can walk behind and relax! Be sure to bring snacks or lunch as well as water. Check the forecast and dress appropriately. We will plan to return at an easy pace back to the parking area by 2:00 p.m.

If anyone has a fever, they should not attend this outing. Families are welcome! Any children should be accompanied and supervised by parents or other adult family members. Be sure to bring layers and rain gear (just in case), snacks and/or lunch, and at least a liter of water. Please no dogs on this hike.

Please contact Ed Maggart (the outing leader) to sign up, get details about the meeting locations, and ask any questions about the outing. We are limiting this hike to 12 hikers!
