We’ve got a lot of footage “saved up” over the years and so we’re going to try to start putting together some videos again. Here are two more we’ve made recently. Enjoy!
First, here’s Maidenhair Falls from a cool mid-November weekend:
And here’s another video from this fall: Harper Creek Falls in the Wilson Creek section of the Pisgah National Forest, near Grandfather Mountain.
We’ve added the three waterfalls along the Glen Burney Trail to NorthCarolinaWaterfalls.info, and a full trailhead page on HikeWNC.info as well! Owned by the town of Blowing Rock, the waterfalls include The Cascades, Glen Burney Falls, and Glen Marie Falls. All of these would make worthy destinations in and of themselves, but with this trail you get to see all three in one hike. It’s a fairly strenuous hike for a trail that starts right in town, so be prepared for that, but we think it’s well worth the effort as you treck down into the gorge formed by New Year’s Creek. Perhaps this would make a great New Year’s Day hike!

We’re rolling out some big style changes to HikeWNC and MTB WNC! We think the new look should be simpler and more modern, and we’ve toned down the colors quite a bit. Please refresh – maybe a couple of times – and give us your feedback!
We now have a GPS map available with all the trails in DuPont State Forest. You can see the maps & download the data on HikeWNC or MTBikeWNC. The interactive maps (based on Google Maps) have USGS topo base layers, plus the Google Terrain layer and satellite views. Grab the data and load it into your GPS before your next hike or ride. And remember, we have these maps of lots of other nearby areas – such as Davidson River, Mills River, Bent Creek, Big Ivy, and Tsali. Enjoy!
