Also, if interested there is a small gully on this map just south of Conklin that can be accessed from the FLX Trail. My hiking friend and I call this Hatch Hill Falls. Its dry come summer but has some nice falls this time of year. I will post some photos in the falls section sometime soon.
Great info, thanks!! I'm glad to know it's there. I'm hoping to spend a night there sometime this summer. I figure I can start one day and get a lot of exploring done in the area, crash for the night on High Tor, then explore a bit more before heading home the next day. Thanks again!

Yeah my plan is be at the barns about sunrise. Ill hike up Tannery and meet you guys at Conklin by 9 I hope...although only time will tell. Im kinda curious to explore above the 2 tier falls as Bremer pointed out and may do that. If you guys cant make it out that early dont worry about it, I'll either find you in Conklin or we will just meet at Grimes around 1.

Looks like I need to be Horse Show Dad this weekend. Flighty beasts and stressed-out teenagers instead of waterfalling :angry:
I hope you guys have a safe and productive trip.

Weather Channel is saying 73 again, and now it's saying there's a chance of rain for the whole day, rather than clearing in the afternoon as it said before. Only a 30% chance tho.

See you at Conklin at 9am, Kyle! Matt, we'll see you at Grimes at 1pm!
