Ramsay Cascades

Date: 5/22/16
Distance: 8 miles

Today it was great to hike with my son Nathan on the Ramsay Cascades trail.  The Ramsay Cascades trail is located at the end of the road in the Greenbrier Section of the park.  Much of the drive is on a narrow gravel road,

The trail starts with a large bridge across the creek before it starts up the mountain on an old gravel road for the 1st 1.5 miles of the hike.



 At that point the trail becomes a classic single track path through the woods.  The 1st log bridge was long and pretty bouncy.
 About 2.5 miles from the car is a Huge tree.

 The trail rather steeply worked its way up the mountain.  There were a number of sections that were quite rocky and rooty.  There were also a few flowers about.

 The waterfall is very impressive.

 After a short break and some lunch, we headed back down the mountain.

This hike is short, but still strenuous as it climbs more than 2000' over its short distance.  The payoff is big on this hike with the waterfall, large trees and creek views.
