Name: Homestead + 4 More Falls Trail
Distance: 4.7
Difficulty: Difficult
Total Climbing Elevation: 548
Type: Loop
Notes: This was one of the more challenging hikes we've taken. Except for the first mile on Pumping Station Rd, most of our hiking was on poorly or not identifiable paths with extensive overgrowth and numerous blow downs. This was the most bushwacking we have done on any hike. We did find all five of the waterfalls, but could not get close to Sharp Rock Falls. However, Filmy Fern and Homestead Falls were quite impressive and made the hike worth the effort. This was a difficult hike made more difficult by the 80+ temperatures, very high humidity and no winds. It would be a bit easier in the winter with more visible paths and cooler temperatures. Lastly, parking is very limited with a small pull-off on the right for 2 cars just before the Davidson Cove Lane intersection. See: Homestead Falls: https://hikingwnc.com/737-homestead-falls/ for further details. Since I had to double back to find lost water bottle, actual mileage is closer to 4.2 miles. Today's hikers: Susan Voss, Jenny Bell, Kim Johnson, Ken Pardue, Bobbie Broussard, Matt Henderson & Toby, Mike Bell.
