Jun 13 Sat: Hike Ricketts Glen Falls Full Loop w Transport $59

RICKETTS GLEN FALLS FULL LOOP
Ricketts Glen Falls Loop is considered by many to be the single best waterfall hike in the eastern United States. The semi-loop through both Ganoga Glen and Glen Leigh visits 21 named waterfalls, the highest being 94' Ganoga Falls. This trail is in the "Most Difficult" category according to the park website.

Start your journey at the bottom of the glens along Highway 118, parking at either the Evergreen Parking Area on the south side of the highway, or the small picnic area and trailhead on the north side. If parking at the Evergreen Parking Area, pick up a park map at the kiosk and carefully walk across the highway to reach the start of the Falls Trail on the west bank of Kitchen Creek. If you're starting from the picnic area, a short connector trail takes you across a bridge over Kitchen Creek to join the main Falls Trail.
