June 17 - Riding Ford Falls
Easy to Moderate (Details)
Down stream from Warden Falls, the Tuckasegee River slides over a rock into a pool below,

easy hike with one short stream crossing with good stepping stones.

Moderate (Details)
In Gorges State Park, downriver from Rainbow Falls, the water drops about 50 feet over a
series of six or seven rock ledges that look like a staircase. There is a wide pool at the
bottom. Those who want a little longer hike can go about a mile upstream to Rainbow Falls
before returning to the parking area.
