a few water crossings. Would definitely recommend higher cut waterproof boots for Falling Waters. Could get away with trail sneakers for sure, just be ready to do a lot of rock hopping/ avoidance as Falling Waters has certainly earned it's name.
None on other trails mentioned. |

 | Comments: |
Sunscreen is a great idea if you're out on the ridge in the sun for a while. Ridge is very exposed to weather.
I would not have gone down Falling Waters, it was consistently steep with plenty of technical trail alongside waterfalls/ brooks. Greenleaf has snacks and a faucet for water re-fills. Old Bridle was a nice decent. |
