| Hiking Schedule August 2011 Around Cashiers |
Aug 5 - Rhapsodie Falls
Strenuous (Details)
This is a strenuous hike to two dramatic waterfalls. The trail is steep and crosses a low creek
several times, so bring sturdy shoes that will keep your feet dry. A hiking stick may help with
the rock hopping over the creek. The base of each of the falls is a nice spot to rest and eat a
snack, so bring two snacks along!

July 22 - Snowbird
Moderate (Photos)
Beth Townsend of Cashiers will help us explore the Snowbird Mountain area of Glenville.
Snowbird is an 1,850 acre private community with 13 landowners. The only amenity in
Snowbird is the trail system, a portion of which crosses each owner's individual property. The
land was used in the late 1800-early 1900s for cattle and cabbage farming, and was settled by
families such as the Keeners, Wades, Whitts, and DuPrees. There are currently six completed
homes and four camp/destination structures at Snowbird. The hike will last about two hours
(plus driving time). Bring lunch. (No dogs, please.)

Hike to a completely different world along the Blue Ridge Parkway. A devastating fire in 1925

views and two waterfalls.

Aug 12 - Courthouse Falls
Moderate (Details)
The first part of this trail is a little steep as you hike over Big Fork Ridge, but just take it
slowly if you want to and once you start down the other side the rest of the hike is a breeze.
All in all it's a beautiful walk through a lush forest and near the end there is a short side trail
to one of the most picturesque waterfalls in the area.
