Blue Ridge Pkwy/Crabtree Falls

Andrew Gomez

Fairly moderate hike to get to the falls. What a place to get lost in nature. A little difficult for a dog. Totally worth the drive.

Roads gone. Trail is blocked . Blue ridge apocalypse but waterfalls is still there. 8 miles in and out. Lots of patience hiking

An absolutely beautiful experience that I hope to have again someday soon. The trail itself is magnificent and a really good hike. The waterfall makes you want to spend all day there exploring the surrounding areas and seeing all the incredible sights and wildlife and fauna.

Crabtree Falls is wonderful and one of the more dramatic falls in this area with about a 150 foot drop. The trail to get there is not long, but can be challenging with many roots, rocks a steep decline and three steep sets of stone stairs which have sturdy railings. I have done this hike about a dozen times always as a loop. It's about a half a mile longer, but easier coming back up and out. Going in bear to the right and take the shorter way down to the base of the falls.

If I can do it you can too. This hike is listed at moderate/strenuous. I was a little nervous but went for it with my dog. It's a rugged path. Plenty wide and well marked you can't get lost. I'm fat and my dog is chunky and it was definitely some exercise but well worth it. Great views. Lots of steps. We went right (counterclockwise) but it's the same either way. You need to go down to the falls and then back up. Take your time. Enjoy the hike.
