Today was another replacement for the Arkaquah Trail at Brasstown Bald because of 50% chance of thunderstorms. Anyway, the replacements were pretty good in there own right, Raven Cliffs and Dukes Creek Falls. Only one other in our group showed up at the start of the hikes at Raven Cliffs Falls. Beth was the one who came, but I must say that Lori was on her way but had to turn back in Cleveland, just 15 minutes from the falls...sorry Lori that sucks. Anyway we hiked the 2.5 or 3 miles depending on what guide you have. But there are three falls on the way up to the main event, Raven Cliffs Falls.
The second half of the hike was the over two miles to Dukes Creek Falls. The trail down leads to a complex of waterfalls. The 35-foot lower Dodd Creek Falls and 300-foot Dukes Creek Falls. Also, don't forget there is even a Middle Dodd Creek Falls on the way back up. Oh, and on this trail was Mountain Laurel. So, seven waterfalls and over seven miles of trail, you all missed out.
