Re: Lower Paradise Branch falls

Congrats! I'm certain I've never been there, nor has anybody else. ;) Seriously though, cool debut post. That's not an easy hike, especially this time of year. Sounds like you were able to stay right of Sandy on the ascent, which has been tricky for me in past years...but that creek does meander a b...

Stupid things I've forgotten: Water (had a couple ice bottles in my cooler, and although they were old nasty freezer water, I got by).
