Warning
Do not sign up for hikes led by Jim Plant
He has a broken rib and will be hiking at “broken rib” pace.
He is known to pick hikes that have unbridged creek
crossings, is prone to stop mid-hike to talk about
a dang fungus or fern. All his hikes will be off trail.
Avoid at all costs. Hike with George, Rick or even Darcy,
before you sign up for one of Jim’s hikes
This is my WHW pre-hike. Laurel Falls is a 1.7 mile paved trail to a quite attractive waterfall. It is one of the most popular trails in the park. My most memorable hike here was in January 2013 when Wilderness Wildlife Week shut down for the day due to heavy rains. It was the same day a landslide covered up a portion of Newfound Gap Road and closed it for several months. Click this link to see it.
The hike and falls were much tamer on this trip. My rib appreciated the light hike.
