Most of the ice at the waterfall had melted however.
I scrambled on the rocks for some pictures but didn't spend too long.
Back on the main trail, I heard something and scrambled down to a campsite. There was an Upper Cedar Rock Falls here.
It was about 15 feet and pretty scenic.
Just past here, I got on Butter Gap Trail and hiked through Picklesimer Fields.
It started raining lightly as I got to Grogan Creek Falls.
In good lighting, this was a really scenic waterfall.
I spent some time here getting some photos.
Then I got back on the trail and continued hiking up. Near the top of Grogan Creek was another nice little drop.
Butter Gap Trail ended at Art Loeb Trail so I could finish up section 1. It was steep up to Chestnut Mountain then not too bad after that. At Gloucester Gap, I turned on FR-475. There was a seasonal waterfall on a small drainage along the road.
I continued on FR-475 to Long Branch Trail and in about a mile, I took a detour on Cemetery Loop to the McCall Cemetery.
Then back to Long Branch Trail. I took another detour on FR5095 to Long Branch Falls. There was a lot of downfall preventing a good picture.
It didn't look like it would be going anywhere soon so I hiked back to Long Branch Trail.
Long Branch Trail ended back at Butter Gap Trail to finish up the loop.
The trail followed Davidson River downstream to Brevard on boardwalks and a wide trail.
