| Hike Summary: | The hike started out at the parking area and onto Raven Rock Loop Trail. I took this down to where the trail meets with the Cape Fear River and down the stairs to the exposed rock they call Raven Rocks. After hanging out in the shade of the Rocks and exploring the massive size and what the river actually had done to create these out crops, I headed back to the trail. After climbing up all of the stairs i took on Little Creek Loop Trail and hiked down to one of the backcountry sites. Although I did not spend the night camping here, the sites were nice and I will be back in the future to camp at this area. After leaving camp I jumped back onto Little Creek Loop Trail back to Raven Rock Loop Trail to finish out my hike. |
