Route Description

After admiring the heavy spring flow over the Roaring Branch waterfall, proceed up stone stairs created by youth conservation corps. The path continues through the very large trees with little undergrowth. Three stream crossings - first may be very difficult after heavy rain. Proceed up ridge line to High Butte overlook. (Great spot for lunch.) Reverse direction back to trailhead.
