Oct 14 - Looking Glass Rock Moderate to Strenuous. (Details) This popular hike gives you breathtaking views of the fall foliage throughout Shining Rock Wilderness. There is a 1,700-foot elevation change but spread out over 3 miles so it's gradual but steady. Bring water and lunch.
Oct 28 - Rough Run Falls Moderate (Details) This is an easy hike near Cashiers, north of Lake Glenville. It’s a mostly level walk to two waterfalls. The first, High Falls, is a dramatic strait drop. A few minutes further is the tow-tiered Rough Run Falls. The rocks surrounding the pool at the base of the waterfall is a good spot to rest and eat a picnic.
