RAVEN CLIFF FALLS - Best Waterfall Hikes In North Georgia

[@waterfallmadman]

That is a very cool waterfall tucked in that narrow gorge. Sweet!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

This area is awesome! Been going to Raven Cliff Falls for years and it is always a great place to explore. Also, plenty of great camping spots in the area. Just down the road from here you also have Dukes Creek Falls among several others. Also, you can jump on the AT at Hogpen Gap if you want to take in some great views. Thanks for watching and the support! Cheers

[@PFAM5]

Awesome opening drone shot!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Thank you! This is an awesome place to camp and hike but make sure you go early and during the week. Cheers and thanks for watching!

[@johnd9357]

Whoa they have a foot bridge now to cross the big creek near the beginning? I hiked here last spring and you had to cross a very sketchy fallen tree. Awesome!

[@johnd9357]

Ahh, just realized that this video is 2 years old. I guess the foot bridge used to be there and isn’t anymore. Bummer.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Yep! The foot bridge is gone, baby gone! Wonder if they will ever replace since they charge for parking

[@NickandRachel]

I didn't know about the other camping in the back! That's why I always watch your videos even if I just made one at the same place lol get to learn new things and see it from a different perspective. Really wanted to use my drone when we went but there was so many people the holiday weekend was crazy. Thanks for sharing!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

An Adventure with Nick & Rachel awesome! Glad to hear these videos provide value in your future adventures. I’ve been camping here for 25 years and have stayed at multiple spots along the road. There is a small creek that you can cross if you have a suv or truck to get to other spots as well. Good times. Cheers

[@NickandRachel]

@@MetroOnTheMove that's awesome! I'll keep that in mind next time I wanting to do some primitive camping.

[@ChristopherNealPhotography]

Raven Cliff is on my list to get done this year, thanks for the share.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Definitely recommend this especially during the weekdays. If you camp, make sure you check out the areas down the road past the main parking areas. Thanks for watching and the support. Cheers!

[@northgeorgiatreks6767]

Great video!! Always enjoy your adventures!!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

North Georgia treks Thank You my friend! Hope you get a chance or have experienced this place. Cheers!

[@rbjcreations88]

Beautiful, plan on doing this hike this week. Driving up from FL

[@MetroOnTheMove]

This is a great day hike with plenty of places to camp along the trail. It is best during the week and if you can get there early it is ideal. Thanks for watching and the support!

[@BluegrassBackcountry]

Great video! Very cool waterfalls. Love the first person aspect to your videos. Subscribed!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Thank you my friend for the kind words and support! I have been going to this spot for 25 years and it never gets old. Thanks for watching and hopefully you will get a chance to experience this hike as well! Cheers

[@RuskinSeabrook]

Well done my friend! Hope you are enjoying your weekend!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Thank you my friend! Just now recovering from camping this weekend so sorry for the delay in response. It was a perfect weekend to be out there enjoying the views. Just checked out your last video from the Sawtooth Wilderness and it looks like you guys had a great time camping as well! Cheers

[@SANDTOUTDOORS]

Great video! I could only imagine the pucker factor while flying the drone between the rocks!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

THE ADVENTURES OF SMALLS AND TALLS it was sketchy as GPS is weak and it can drift if loses signal. It adds a great effect but I like using the GoPro the most. Ease of use and weight is key! Thanks for watching my friend. Cheers!

[@KempOutside]

Great video! There are so many great falls and trails in this area!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Kemp Outside agreed! This place is very special to me as I have been visiting this area for over 25 years. Just down the road you can jump on the AT to catch some incredible views. Stay tuned for next week, as we hike up to Wildcat Mountain to capture some incredible views of the AT!

[@KempOutside]

@@MetroOnTheMove looking forward to it! You are my go to channel when we are camping up that way and looking for trails and falls to see!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

​@@KempOutside Thank you for the kind words as this feedback helps me continue to produce these videos. Glad to hear that these videos are helpful and hopefully you will get a chance to experience these hikes for yourself soon. Cheers

[@naturein4kbypaulking420]

Awesome channel man! Subscribed too😉👍

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Thank you my friend for the kind words and support! Hope you enjoy this channel and discover some new places to explore. Cheers

[@FamilyHobbiesandCards]

Was this video shot in the go pro 7. It's very very smooth. Very little step bumps! Awesome!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

The intro was a mavic mini and I use the GoPro 8. That series is when you noticed the footage getting super smooth. I shoot at 4k 60 FPS now and it is great for slow mo shots and such. Thanks for watching and the positive feedback!

[@kgoutdoors9367]

We love this hike and the falls!!! Great video of it!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Awesome! Glad you have had a chance to explore this area for yourself. Thank you for the support! Cheers

[@SeniorHiker77]

I've hike Ravin Cliff Falls many times and didn't know about additional camping and parking down the dead end road.👌

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Senior Hiker 77 Yep! It’s the best since little no foot traffic will walk through your camp. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@tylerslebeau]

It was a pleasure meeting you on Yonah yesterday, man!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Tyler LeBeau It was great to meet you as well! Thanks for your thoughts on the Canon R. Cheers!

[@wadec4]

Thanks Metro! RCF is one of my favorite NGA hikes as well, one of the few in GA that follows water for its entirety. SO many great camping spots. Great job man.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Thanks Doug for the kind words and support! There are so many great little waterfalls along the way that make this spot so unique. Glad you get to enjoy this place as well! Have you hiked any of the AT just down the street from here?

[@wadec4]

@@MetroOnTheMove Unicoi Gap to Indian Grave Gap is another favorite due to the abundance of water for camping, The Slaughter Creek loop via Lake WInfield Scott and Jarard's Gap to the AT and up the backside of Blood Mtn is another but not much above Raven Cliff on Richard B Russel. I will be exploring up there soon via campsite at Raven Cliff, really looking forward to it. Have you featured Panther Creek yet? If not you might consider. Really nice and varied trail.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Doug Carlton these are all great places! Yes, been to Panther Creek many times and love it. Tray mountain is one of my ultimate places to hike and camp. Great views from the top!!

[@brennaspictureperfectadven7262]

I'm going to have to start planning some hiking in Georgia! It looks beautiful!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

The best part about hiking in North Georgia is that a lot of these trails and waterfalls are close to each other so you can do multiple hikes in one day.Raven Cliff Falls is close to Dukes Creek Falls, Hogpen Gap and Tesnatee Gap on the Appalachian Trail. Lots of great views in this area. Stay tuned for the next video on Sunday as it showcases a quick hike on the AT that leads to a great overlook on Wildcat Mountain. Cheers!

[@brennaspictureperfectadven7262]

@@MetroOnTheMove that is very convenient! I'll have to check it out.

[@outdoorsywannabe1888]

I need to come here

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Outdoorsy Wanna be it is a great spot to check out and close to the Appalachian Trail. New video on wildcat mountain off the Appalachian Trail next Sunday. Cheers

[@marileigh9913]

Did you start from rcf parking lot? What trails did you take please?

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Yes, we took the main trail from the parking lot. One way in and one way out.

[@RogersHollow]

What a beautiful area. How many miles of trail there?

[@MetroOnTheMove]

This trail is 5.5 miles or so. In this area, you have several other places to hike such as Dukes Creek Falls and the AT just down the street. If you need a shuttle, I recommend The Further Shuttle Appalachian! Thanks for the kind words and the support my friend! Cheers

[@thehippieviking]

It's crazy to me that there are so many places you are allowed to camp there! Here in Utah they have signs posted everywhere saying "No Camping!" (although they don't really do anything if you do camp there but there's still the chance they could fine you as it is posted. Funny story, one time my gf at the time, another homie and I camped by Bryce pretty much directly next to a no camping sign with a full ass fire going while cooking some ribs dutch oven style and the fire department dudes and park rangers drove right past us. We didn't really know what to do cuz we thought we were fucked, we waved at them and all they did was smile and wave back and they just carried on like we weren't even there aha!) But you know crooked state trynna make a good ol capitalist buck off of anything they can including natural things that were here long before the idea of currency ever existed. You live in a beautiful area with loads of places to explore and on top of it all legal camping! That is super rad my guy thank you for posting these videos!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

D.A.M thank you my friend for support! Been going to this spot for years and there is a lot of spaces to camp. Still $5 per day to park which prob covers maintenance with all the day hikers. As long as you practice leave no trace, most will have no issues in the wilderness. Nice to also have the Appalachian Trail within reach of home. Cheers

[@tarasimpson1018]

Really enjoying your videos! Planning to spend about a week in north Georgia at the end of December. Any hikes I should avoid that time of year? Any hikes you recommend I add to my “must do” list?

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Than you for the kind words and support of this channel! Glad to hear that you will be spending some time in North Georgia in December. The trails are all pretty much packed right now, so it is all about going early and during the week if possible. For views, I recommend hiking Blood Mountain, Cowrock Mountain and Yonah Mountain. Cowrock Mountain can be accessed from Tesnatee Gap which is just past Raven Cliff Falls a few miles along the same highway so you could do both in one day.

[@tarasimpson1018]

Thanks for tips and the reply!

[@Papatoole]

If you don’t mind me asking - what camera set up are you using? Btw- I tell me GF ‘leave no trace!’ Every single time I see trash lol.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Hello my friend and thanks for watching! To answer your question, my primary camera set up is the GoPro 8 and I also use a lume cube mini for lighting in darker areas. The drone is a mavic mini but i rarely take it with me due to weight and rules. Good to hear that you practice leave no trace and remind people when you see trash on trail. Stay tuned as there is a lot more trails and such planned for 2021. Today at 2:00p.m. I am releasing the second day of my thru hike on the PMT. Let's keep moving!

[@Papatoole]

@@MetroOnTheMove That is awesome! Thanks so much for the quick reply. We just finished a Raven Cliff yesterday and truly loved it. We were curious what was down past the parking lot. Thanks for telling.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

@@Papatoole Over the past 25 years, I have been visiting this area. Down the road past the lot are some really great campsites that you can easily access by simply pulling your car up. No electrical or bathrooms, but some great spots along the creek for sure! Thanks for supporting this channel!

[@juliocesarsaculchub3472]

I have a question. Can you still go up????

[@MetroOnTheMove]

I have not been this year but have not heard that they closed it. I would check online to confirm.

[@midwestsmalltown]

The phone didn't alert me of your message!!! Just subscribed back buddy! Great stuff - keep it up!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Country Pilgrim Thank you my friend for the support! Try to release new videos every Sunday so please stay tuned! See you on the trail!! Let’s keep moving!!

[@peytonsmith1230]

Roughly how long does it take to get to the top of the trial? I know it’s different for everyone but just a guess.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

1-2 hours depending on your pace on trail. Thanks for watching and the support!

[@Seminight7]

Awesome! Do you need to pay a fee to camp there?

[@333-k3x]

No fee to camp. Just the $5 parking fee.

[@Seminight7]

3 3 3 thank you for the information sir.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Make sure you go early and during the week if you are trying to grab a good place to camp! Thanks for watching and the support my friend! Cheers

[@FamilyHobbiesandCards]

You said you have been there 25 years but your accent is a bit more 'up north' sounding. Where are you originally from?

[@MetroOnTheMove]

This might surprise you, but I am originally from Orange County, CA. My parents were missionaries and I have lived all over the world.
