Name: Winding Stairs Trail from Cherry Hill near Mountain Rest, SC
Distance: 6
Difficulty: Moderate
Total Climbing Elevation: 1,220
Type: Out and Back
Notes: A nice hike with great weather. The trail was in excellent condition, not wet and easy on the feet. While the path was a constant decline going out and incline on return, neither was all as steep as expected. The only real challenge was the final scrambles down to the three falls we visited, Miuka, Lower Miuka and Secret. These falls are really quite nice, but could be difficult to see when the vegetation is more dense in the growing season. We were unable to find Crane Falls. I have since found some reviews indicating it can be accessed from the south side of Crane Creek. A number of wildflowers were coming out today, but only one Trillium was spotted. Might be able to reach Crane Falls from the south side of Crane Creek. Show les
