And those climbs are no joke, so a lighter pack can make those more pleasant for sure. That Hillard Falls is a sweet spot too- I rarely stay two nights in one place, but that would be such a nice change of pace sometime. :)Joan Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16396313531820725640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437728056755394515.post-61143924707293496422014-07-02T20:09:17.610-06:002014-07-02T20:09:17.610-06:00Hey Joan,

I'm a sucker for a good waterfall and one of my favorite trips was to hike 6 miles on the Foothills Trail to Hilliard Falls and stay 2 nights. <br />That said, I do like to do some distance to. I did the 33 mile Laurel Valley section( I know that doesn't sound like much to someone that hikes 20 mile days for months). <br />We camped at Hilliard Falls, Toxaway River and the top of Laurel Fork Falls. It was so good, I plan to do it in every season. <br />To do that and really enjoy it, I need to take your advice and leave some things at home.<br /><br />SwampfoxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01368077891762857461noreply@blogger.com
