Tuesday morning, we started making our way home. Driving through Asheville, we stopped at the parking area for Shope Creek in Pisgah National Forest. We first hiked up Wolf Branch Trail. I think there's a waterfall up here, but was unable to find it. So we hiked the main forest roads up along Shope Creek. In about a mile, we came to Forrest Falls.
It's a small waterfall, but kind of pretty despite the poor lighting.
We continued further up and followed a snowy old road up along a small tributary that wasn't marked on the topo map. At the end of the road was the small Wolfden Falls.
It's not too impressive, but might be worth another visit in very high water.
Then we started making our way back. We stopped at the ford of Shope Creek on FR-220, but the lighting was still poor.
Then we finished the hike back up at the car.
From here, we made the long drive back to Raleigh.
