Hike to a magnificent freefalling water fall in Pisgah National Forest Near Brevard, NC – Saturday May 13, 2023
Join us for a lovely hike to an incredible waterfall!! We meet at Carrier Park at 220 Amboy Road in Asheville at 9:00 am on Saturday May 13th. (Last parking lot before the I-240 entrance ramp.) From there we will caravan to the trailhead and folks can carpool if they choose to do so.
Once we arrive at trailhead parking, after introductions and a brief overview, the group will then hike .6 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 minutes at the falls. Be sure to bring snacks or lunch as well as water. Check the forecast and dress appropriately and bring sunscreen. We will plan to return at an easy pace back to the parking area by 2:00.
