    Well-developed path through the forest along the water.

    Hiking

    We completed the trip to Alum cave on 4/07/22. Waterproof shoes are recommended since most of the trail had run-off. At a steady pace, it took about 1'30" to the cave & about the same on return.

    Hiking

    A nice steady hike up to the Bluff, but beware there is a lot of traffic. Beautiful waterfalls. The views are spectacular!
