Hiking
Their are two great hikes here. We prefer Rock Creek Falls. It's a 5 mile in and out hike to a beautiful waterfall. Not that busy but becoming more popular. The hike is rated Moderate. Located 11 miles from our home where you pick up and drop off camping gear. They have camping. We have seen bears on this hike

Easy-Moderate hike, First part is super easy-more of a fire trail but through a beautiful forest. Then some fun climbing down the waterfall. 14 miles from our home where you pick up and drop off gear.

We love this hike. It's a loop and not to difficult. About 45 minutes from our home and there's a nice campground. Located on the skyline drive. Pretty famous hike so there may be other hikers on the trail

Maybe our favorite hike. It’s rated moderate and only a mile straight down a waterfall. There’s many swim opportunities and very limited parking-meaning it’s not very crowed.
