Roaring Fork Falls, Micaville North Carolina.

Hiking Roaring Creek Falls Video Part 1:

Recently Penny and I have decided to do some Vlogs all about hiking and different sites to see in different areas.  I also want to stress that a lot of these hikes are geared to those who do have health issues and are all service animal friendly, though some of them can be quite strenuous  This particular hike is pretty easy.  Very little elevation gain.  1.25 miles round trip on a mostly gravel path of steady grade.  The trail is well maintained and near the Black Mountain Campground and the Mount Mitchell Golf Course, as well as near the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Located in Yancey County, Roaring Fork Falls (aka Roaring Creek Falls) is fed by the South Toe River.  While the cascade is not that tall, due to its surroundings, it’s none the less a dramatic end to a simple hiking trail.  Surrounded by beautiful bright green moss, rhododendron bushes, and tall trees, be sure to take note of the awesome rock formations to the right of the trail.  And be careful of the roots!  Rest here, let your dog go for a swim, or wade in yourself before returning back to your vehicle.  Not bad for a 45 minute walk!

Directions: From the intersection of NC 80 and the Blue Ridge Parkway, go 2.2 miles north on NC 80 and turn left on South Toe River Road. Cross the bridge and turn left. Follow the road 0.2 miles to the gate and parking area
