Stanley Gap Trail to Fall Branch Falls

We do this every year and thanks to Vas. Starting at Deep Gap Parking area off Aska Road We will explore Aska Trail System in Rich Mountain Wilderness.

Follow the Stanley Gap Trail along the ridges of Davenport Mountain and climb Rocky Mountain before descending toward Stanley Gap and the intersection with the Benton MacKaye Trail. We'll then take the BMT to Falls Branch Falls. These falls are double-tiered and reputed to almost always have a nice volume of water. We'll then re-trace our steps up Rocky Mountain and back to Deep Gap.

Hike Distance: 10 miles
Elevation Gain: 2,500 ft
Weather Forecast: Cloudy with high 77F and low of 66 with showers
