  • It's #nationaltakeahikeday !! And the forecast is a sunny fall day with a high of 60-- perfect weather to slip on your shoes, grab a pack, get outside and explore these mountains we call home. Pictured is Schoolhouse Falls in Panthertown Valley near Cashiers, N.C. This hike is just under three miles, starts off at the Cold Mountain Gap trailhead and carries you through a hardwood forest along Greenland Creek. Cross the creek to the Little Green Trail where you'll find Schoolhouse Falls waiting for you in all its glory. 🌲Where do you plan to get out and explore today?
