The route
A winter waterfall day with the brothers. We’ll hike approximately 4.2 miles out and back on the blue-blazed Pine Mountain Trail to Cascade Falls, then return the same way. Expect rocky footing, multiple creek crossings, and some steep climbs and descents. We’ll regroup along the way and finish together. Check in at 9:45 AM; the hike starts at 10:00 AM Eastern. Plan to finish between 1:00 and 2:30 PM, depending on pace and conditions. The group is limited to 10 hikers. Included for active ABH members whose membership covers the event; nonmember tickets are $20. Parking is separate.
