January 8th, the Y Hiking Club will hike the High Falls & Triple Falls trail at DuPont State Recreational Park in near Hendersonville NC. This will be an easy-moderate with an out & back trail of 3.3 miles & 553 ft elevation gain.

We will see two groups of falls including the 150 ft High Falls.

These are natural trails with moderate incline, occasional narrow paths, tree roots, stream crossings and boulders along the trails.  Some portions may be with small stream crossings requiring appropriate footwear and a good sense of balance.

Total hiking time will be about 3 hours, depending on hike, breaks and speed.

• Bring your hiking poles, plenty of water, State Park Pass (or $5.00/$3.25 senior rate per person) admissions per vehicle.
• Depending on weather, appropriate rain, foot wear and clothing is strongly recommended.
• Bring your lunch if you want to picnic at the available park tables after the hike.
• There are no restrooms along our route but will be available at the Park entrance office center parking lot.
• We will meet at the Triple Falls Parking lot at 8:45am so we can head out at 9:00am.
