Description:
We’ll tentatively plan to hit Horserock Ridge and the bulk of our climbing first (3.7 mi, 1128 ft), and then relax amid the beautiful waterfalls of McDowell Creek Park (1.7 mi, 200 ft). Parking is sparse at Horserock Ridge trailhead and it’s good to get there early. However, depending on the weather we may reverse the order, and if it’s really wet, we will skip Horserock altogether because it’s exposed and the rocks can be slippery. Instead, we’ll hike the McDowell Creek loop twice to get a little more mileage.
