Jan 28 Cascades of Cascade Creek



Today is the big event at Vade Mecum. I knew my afternoon would be spent behind a table in Tise Hall, talking up Friends of Sauratown Mountains. So, my morning would be spent visiting waterfalls in Hanging Rock State Park. I decided to see all three of the major cascades on Cascade Creek. Above, we have Tise falls which is actually just downcreek from Upper Cascade but a very difficult scramble in slick and icy terrain.


Next up on the agenda is Upper Cascade. There is a well built wood viewing area and staircase to bring you right down to the plunge pool.


And finally, Lower Cascade, accessible from a trailhead on Hall Rd with a short .4 mile walk and many steps down.
