a sign that reads “Top of Falls” with an arrow pointing left (east)
and “Bottom of Falls” with an arrow pointing right (southeast).
For this hike I chose the top of the falls to the left, but feel free
to explore either direction. Either way the path is very rocky and
narrow, coming right up to the edge of the cliff. Use extreme
caution! (A sign here reads “Peavine Falls Area. Cau-
tion—Rocky, Steep, Dangerous. Enter at Your Own Risk.”)
Arrive at the top of the falls. Again, use caution! It's danger-
ously close to the edge of the cliff. When you're ready, turn
around here and head back the way you came.
1.0
Return to the intersection with the White Trail at mile 0.9. Turn
left (southwest) onto the White Trail. The trail soon changes
from a dirt path into a wide gravel road that winds its way
steeply uphill. Benches are available for resting at each bend.
1.1
Arrive at the Peavine Falls parking lot. You will be on the east
side of the lot across from the Green Trail where you originally
started.
