Notes:
Hiked to the waterfall at the end of the trail, switching between the user trails and the stream along the way. The open sky began to be closed in…

:
Trail up Devil's Stairs is steep and wet in spots, but a beautiful hike. No ice today. We descended Piney Branch trail with 2 tricky water crossings.
|
Notes:
There is some ice on the boulders requiring extra care and several icy spots on the trail tread, but many hikers were completing the loop today.
|
Notes:
Started at the bottom and the lower section of the trail/road near VA 670 was a stream of water shoulder to shoulder. Too wet for us today.
