Glen Burney Falls Trail

"I LOVED this hike. It's beautiful even on a foggy/rainy, December day. Given that it was alittle rainy (despite what the weather said) trails were a bit slippery but not dangerous. Take your time, the hike back up from the lower 2 falls can feel more like a climb."

"Trail offers scenic views of 3 falls. Can be a little strenuous in sections on the return climb but certainly worth the effort. Nice location convenient to exploring downtown Blowing Rock."

"Great trail, very challenging....on the way back up. About a mile of steep uphill climbing. Follow the path to the bottom fork and cut back up hill to follow the Glenn Burney trail that's where you'll find the best fall (see pic). The bottom fork to the left (Glenn Marie) is not worth the hard climb back. There is little to see at the bottom. "The Ruins" on the map is an old septic house, nothing cool don't get excited like we did when we saw the map. Would not recommend for little kids. My 9y.o boy made it but it was all he wanted by the end."

"Simply a great find, easy to moderate walking but be cautious as it can get slippery when wet. Heard and noticed to much wildlife. We stopped after the larger waterfall due to not having proper shoes and gear. Highly recommend and great restaurants near when you leave!"

"About 1.6mi to the end of the trail. Do you need hiking shoe, not really unless the ground is wet. There are a lot of rocks so when it is wet you can slip and fall. The are muddy spot too but you can walk around it carefully. Another thing is there are about 500' of elevation change so hiking back to the parking lot will raise your heart rate. These are all the caution I can think off. Now the views, yes it is not a big waterfall but still nice. Glen Marie fall you can walk next to it if water flow is not too heavy. Trails are clean which is good, meaning people pick up after themselves. If you can't find start point, just drive slow on Laurel lane and you will see a small sign for parking."
