Duke Creek Falls Hike

After walking the Raven Cliff Falls Hike, I still had plenty of energy so I decided to hit another hiking spot less than 2 miles away. This hike was shorter but a bit more challenging than the last simply because the grade was steeper. The trail itself was very wide, level and well maintained. In fact, there were steps with rails along the first 1/3 of the route.

The trail did a series of long switchbacks leading down a mile to the base of spectacular falls which dropped 250 feet. It was a view well worth the hike. After doing this hike at a fairly quick pace, I was definitely worn out for the day upon my return to the top. The hike took about 45 minutes total including a couple quick pictures.
