North Harper Creek/Lost Cove Cliffs Hike

When:

Saturday, Oct 18, 2008
10 a.m. at the trailhead.

Details:

Come along as we visit a beautiful 25' waterfall and above it along N Harper Creek before visiting the cliff rocks overlooking the Lost Coves to view the fall colors in the coves below.

We will take two moderate easy paced hikes in the N. Harper Creek Wilderness Study area (bordered by the BR Parkway and the Linville Gorge wilderness area). The first hike will take us down to a good sized 25' waterfall on N Harper Creek and then above the falls along the creek to some rocks jutting into the creek where we'll have lunch.

Then we'll hike to the cliff rocks overlooking the Lost Coves for a great panoramic view of the coves and the fall colors. Finally we'll drive along FS roads in the area to explore the Wilson Creek area and enjoy the seasonal colors.
