Description

We'll meet at the Walter's Falls Community Centre at 1:30.  After a very short car shuttle, our hike begins at Deviation Road.  We will hike west along the top of the escarpment for 3 km, enjoying the scenic vistas and the beautiful forest  for 3 km, then descend into the Rocklyn Creek valley and follow the waterfalls out to the road.  The creek portion is muddy at this time of year, so waterproof footwear is strongly advised.  This is a very pretty hike, but there are several steep ascents and descents  with  rocky terrain and uneven footing.  Hiking poles are helpful.
