 $15 per person\nCarpool Time: 8:30 am at Intown Community Church\nHike Lea
 der: Rony\n\nDukes Creek Falls Trail\n2 miles round trip\nIt is a series o
 f three switchbacks that lead down to falls on Davis Creek at its confluen
 ce with Dukes Creek. There are water cascades on Dukes Creek While the pat
 hway is remarkably level\, it descends more than 400 feet on the half-mile
  walk. The sound of the waterfall can only be heard at the middle of each 
 switchback\, fading as the next turn approaches. Where the footpath switch
 es back the sounds of the forest are louder than the falls. After the seco
 nd switch the path now narrows considerably. At the falls three more obser
 vation decks have been built into a boardwalk.\n\nRaven Cliff Falls Trail\
 n5 miles\n\nRaven Cliff  Falls Trail follows Dodd Creek to the falls. The
  trail\, which is about 2.5 miles (4.0 km) in length\, is relatively eas
 y to hike until near the end. From 2\,040 feet (620 m) at the trailhead 
 near Bear Den Creek the path slopes gently upward to 2\,600 feet (790 m)
  at the base of the falls. Blue blazes mark the trail\, which is easy to f
 ollow.\n\nThe trailhead lies just off the Richard Russell Scenic Highway. 
 From the parking area the trail runs northwest into a scenic valley teemin
 g with mountain laurel\, rhododendron\, mixed hardwoods and moss-covered s
 eepages. Along the way the trail passes smaller waterfalls\, clear pools a
 nd cascading whitewater. The trail ends at an impressive 80-foot (24 m) c
 liff formation split down the middle with Raven Cliff Falls in between. A 
 steep path leading to the top of the cliff offers wonderful views of the v
 alley and the creek below.\n\nThings to bring:\n- 1.5 liters of water\n- G
 ood hiking shoes or sneakers\n- Packed Lunch / snack\n- $ 15 for carpool d
