The trail begins at Sunset Field on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Paul Moriarty poses next to the trail sign with The Valley in the background. |
Apple Orchard Creek begins as a trickle. Slowly it builds and begins to fall over the rocks and boulders. |
|
| The mountainside becomes quite steep as we look through the trees and see the creek spilling over ever-larger falls. |
Eventually, Apple Orchard Creek plunges over a 150-foot precipice, creating the spectacular Apple Orchard Falls. |
|
| Paul contemplates the falls. A nice place to spend a long break. |
Robb is finished contemplating the falls. He is ready to move on. |
|
| We continue down the trail for another mile and a half, eventually crossing the bridge over Cornelius Creek. |
Forward to the Cornelius Creek Trail
