Itinerary: | |||||||
We will park at Warwoman
Dell, 3 miles from Clayton on
Warwoman Rd. Almost immediately
upon leaving the trailhead (1884
ft), marked by a plaque to William
Bartram, we come to the first of
the two waterfalls on this hike, a
two-level cascade on Becky Branch.
For the next half hour we hike
roughly parallel to Warwoman Rd,
then swing north and soon pick up
Martin Creek, a picture-book creek
with grassy banks and pebbly
riverbed as well as swirling
rapids and a spectacular falls,
viewed from a platform. Leaving
the creek, we steadily ascend
through open woods to somewhere
close to Courthouse Gap and
continue on to Rock Mountain
before turning around and
retracing our step back to the
side trail to Pinnacle Knob (3141
ft), which offers a splendid 180-
degree view. We'll then return
to Warwoman Dell via the Bartram
Trail. Total distance will be
around 13.5 miles. Total
elevation gain around 2700'. Two hour drive to trailhead, brief stop at Ingles in Clayton for bio break. Hike starts at 10am and will finish around 4:45pm. The photo, kindly supplied
by Ofelia, shows Pinnacle Knob
from Courthouse Gap. We will discuss dinner options before leaving the park and ride. Qualifications for event: You must have a D5 from 2024. If you don't, you will be put on the waitlist.
