Shades Of Death

Craig Morehouse

Great little hike. Not difficult. Beautiful falls and good trails. A little rock but this old handled it OK.

We had a great time! Trail doesn't have a ton of elevation change but there are several sections in and across rocks and tons of roots to navigate and some steam crossings, but nothing terrible.

I have been going to Hickory Run for over 40 years (camping, hiking, leaf peeping & of course, the Boulder Field) and also recommend the Shades of Death trail. Although I have done almost all of the trails there, my favorite is the Stage trail. Although it does not have the water views, it has varied scenery and an interesting history. Enjoy!

Beautiful, easy hike. We didn't get to the end because it was a spur of the moment stop and we were concerned with the time change and light we had left. Would recommend.
