Panthertown Valley Hike

The hiking group went to Pantertown Valley this week. This is a very scenic area near Lake Toxaway. Our leader for the hike was Chandler, who learned the trails from a old man who loved the area and developed many of the trails. The hike was a little more challenging because the area had had an ice storm this winter and many trees and branches had fallen across the trails. We also crossed the Green River a couple of times. We walked behind Schoolhouse Falls because the river was too deep to cross in the usual spot. Our lunch spot was Granny Burnell Falls. The trail to Holly Falls was very snowy, but worth the effort. A great finish to the 7 mile hike. Mom
