GUIDED HIKE: RAINBOW FALLS Photo from Scaly Mountain Hike SATURDAY, JULY 25TH Starting at 9:00 a.m. The Rainbow Falls trail is a really nice deep woods hike that begins in Gorges State Park and ends in Pisgah National Forest at either Rainbow Falls or Turtleback Falls. The trail offers beautiful views of towering Rainbow Falls, which stands approximately 200 feet, as well as popular swimming spot, Turtleback Falls. This hike is rated difficult, not based on length, but due to the hilly nature of the trail. Distance of the trail is 3.5 miles round-trip and is approximately 35 minutes travel time by car to the trailhead. Please pack a snack and plenty of water for each hike. Please register on the Cullasaja App or call the Wellness Center to sign up.
