June 20 - Warden Falls
Moderate. There is a short but steep descent to the falls.(Details)
June 13 - Big Green and Mountain and Granny Burrell Falls
Strenuous (Details for Granny Burrell Falls. No description yet for Big Green)

We'll take the long route to Granny Burrell Falls by going along Greenland Creek, then
across to Big Green Mountain where we'll go along the top of the ridge.  After a steep
descent we'll rejoin the valley trail near Granny Burrell Falls.  We'll return by way of the main
road through the valley. This is a fun hike. Bring a picnic lunch or a snack for the falls.
June 27 -Black Rock
Moderate (Details)
There is a great view of Panthertown Valley from this rocky outcropping looking across to
Little Green and Big Green mountain. In mid-October the fall color should be near its peak,
offering a gorgeous panorama. Bing a snack; those who want to can eat lunch in Cashiers or
Sapphire.
June 6 - Toxaway River Trail
To Fisher Falls -  Easy (Details)
To Raven Rock Falls - Strenuous (Details)

The trail to Fisher Falls is beautiful.  It's mostly flat.  There are several river crossings over
stepping stones and if the water is high you"ll probably  get your feet wet.  Bring a hiking stick.

At Fisher Falls, those who want to can take the return trail to the parking area.  Those who are
ready for a adventure can continue on to Raven Rock Falls.  This trail up the river bed  
involves climbing over boulders and requires sure-footedness.
