In order to enjoy the warm weather and work around a church commitment, we are rescheduling our first 2026 Holy Hike to Wednesday, January 14. 

The route will feature DuPont’s Triple Falls, High Falls, and Hooker Falls. While access to the base of Triple Falls has been restricted, there are several spots along the trail that feature great views of the 120 foot cascades. We will get closer looks at Hooker Falls and High Falls if trail conditions allow. The route will follow portions of the loop described at this link. During the hike we will enjoy stopping for lunch and a liturgy.
 

The majority of the route involves well-maintained trails or logging roads. The 2.5-mile hike is rated easy with an elevation gain of around 600 ft; however, the spur trail down to the base of High Falls is rated moderate. No special equipment is required, but hiking poles are always a good idea. Dogs are allowed but must remain on leash. 

 

Please plan to meet at the High Falls Access Parking Lot (Main Visitor’s Center Parking Lot) at 12:00pm and bring water and lunch. If you wish to carpool or convoy from the church, please meet at St. John in the Wilderness no later than 11:30am. The High Falls Access parking lot is located 14.3 miles from the church off of Staton Road in Cedar Mountain. See below for directions and registration link.
