Rugged Rambling Near Seneca Creek

Posted by Marc on October 1, 2003. Categories: General

I finally got the pages up for the Spruce Knob and Seneca Creek areas. I took some of my nicest pictures on our recent backpacking trip to Spruce Knob. We started our trip below Spruce Knob and headed down the relatively boring Lumberjack trail and from there everything was beautiful.


I have talked before about waterfalls, and this area has its share of cascading waterfalls. The Falls of Seneca Creek rumble over a 30' ledge into a deep green pool. The Rhododendron overhang the falls while the tall Hemlock trees lean over the stream and darken the deep wooded cathedral.


I also added some destinations to the Canaan Mountain area. Lindy's Point is a beautiful and easy hike while Canaan Loop Road is a rugged forest service road that can be treacherous at times.
