[@woongtv-naturehealing273]

Hello! My new friend. Wow! It's a hiking ❤💛💝 video that's so touching and healing. Especially, the view of the valley is fantastic. Have a lucky 💗🌺💝 day. 👍👍👍🤙👌

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Thank you my friend! Hope you get a chance to explore this area one day!

[@thathikingguy]

Great Place! Glad you didn’t let a little water stop you. I did end up picking up a Geopress from Grayl (I was INFLUENCED!!!). Love the waterfall

[@MetroOnTheMove]

AWESOME! I want to hear your opinion on the water quality! Yes, this place has been a favorite of mine for 25+ years. Brings me back every time I go back! So many epic place to hike and camp in this area. The AT is just down the road from here. Next week, we hike up Wildcat Mountain and capture some great views of the valley above this waterfall. Thanks for the support!

[@GratefulTrekker]

Love that trail done several overnighters there myself

[@MetroOnTheMove]

As you know, there is so much to see and hike in this area! Besides the parking fee it is nice to be able to camp for free!

[@GratefulTrekker]

@@MetroOnTheMove yes I remember when there was no parking fee that's relatively new

[@MetroOnTheMove]

@@GratefulTrekker I was shocked to see this but happy my National annual pass includes area like these

[@ThePatbuddha89]

Wow I was there this past weekend. 12/4-12/5. Took some friends who are new to hiking/backpacking. Video looks great

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Thank you my friend! Glad you had a chance to go hike and camp out there. Did you get a chance to hike onthe AT down the road from here? In next weeks video, we showcase the view from Wildcat Mountain which is amazing! Stay tuned my friend!

[@StepsbyKaatje]

Beautiful waterfalls, I can understand why this is one of your favorite places to go hike? 😁 All the best! Kaat

[@MetroOnTheMove]

I've been hiking here for 25 years and it never gets old. Always brings me back. Just down the road is the Appalachian Trail and I like to go to multiple spots when I am in this area to catch some epic views from the tops of the mountains. Hope you are doing well my friend!

[@StepsbyKaatje]

@@MetroOnTheMoveYep, I'm going out for an overnight with my dog. I'm going to try a 1-person tent with a dog... Don't know if I'll sleep much...

[@cachemacstrailtime]

Oh yeah, loved that hike.👍👍

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Thank you my friend! One of my favorites!!

[@bestillonthetrail234]

Nice place to hike Metro! That group site looked like a great camp for one of your group hikes.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Can't beat this place! You actually hiked right by this area not too long ago. This area is just down the road from Hogpen Gap on the AT. Hope you are doing well my friend!

[@orthodoxhiker9287]

ooo i LOVE raven cliff falls! Once we have another warm weekend, I'm going to camp there. I've hiked it but never stayed overnight.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

This place is amazing! I have hiked and camped here several times over the past 20 years! One of my favorite day hikes for sure! Glad you have had a chance to explore this wonderful area!

[@mpark678]

Nice Andy. 👍 Good place for day hiking not for overnight. Camp site are too close to trail and too many people are walking by even after dark. See you soon.🙂

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Yeeh, I could see how that could happen during the weekends. There is less traffic now because the tree is blocking the trail and most turn back. See ya soon!

[@therealgratefulhiker]

Goodtimes.. great video, brother.. peace

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Thank you my friend! Did you see your shirt in the thumbnail? Did this hike and up to wildcat the last time I was in town. Hope to catch up with you soon! Let me know when the new shirts / stickers come in! Hope you and Mary are doing well!

[@certifieddinks3943]

Some great camera work in here. I know where I'll be going soon, might take the fly rod and see what's lurking in some of those pools.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

AWESOME! thank you for the compliment as I am constantly striving to improve my craft of shooting these short films. Hope you get a chance to explore this awesome place!

[@TeaInValhalla]

Good morning Mr Metro, thanks for reaching out and supporting our recent video, I knew we had seen you about, you have hiked with Brad nd Tim before right? Really loving your engery and passion for the ourdoors! easy to see why this place rates so highly with you, absolutely spectacular! 💯 ❤ have a great weekend, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 🗺 🎄 ⭐

@@MetroOnTheMove Thank you! I hope to visit a few places in Georgia next year. I’m in the Charleston, SC area so not too far away. For sure, I’ll let you know when I’m heading that way! 👍

[@ASTHECROWFLIESHIKING]

Awesome video Andy! Loved that place. You need to show me around there. Crow✌️

[@MetroOnTheMove]

I was just telling Jason that I am thinking about organizing a hike from Hogpen to Woody Gap. Let's discuss off line but I think that would be a great chance to explore this area before or after the hike. Look forward to seeing you again my friend!

[@JBENHIKES]

So jealous of all of the awesome North GA hiking spots you have… Good job on the vid. Until next time brother, JBH

[@MetroOnTheMove]

The key is to go during the week and early! Blessed to have these spots close to home! Let me know when you head back this way my friend! See ya soon!

[@YourNextCast]

I hear there are some amazing places to hike out there GA. I have a lot of co workers that live out there. Great hike.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

There is a lot of great spots in this area! Just down the road you have Wildcat and Cowrock Mountain on the AT providing some excellent views of the Raven Cliff Wilderness. One of my favorite spots in Georgia. Thanks for the support my friend! Cheers

[@karlo8093]

It's been quite a few years since I've been there. Really, I should go back and check it out again. I remember spending a good bit of time at the bluff, but have never been over the top. I agree, that was a great campsite spot you found. Beautiful place to spend the night. the N Ga. Mountains are very pretty. Ya had yourself a good little day hike! Best to ya ~Karl

[@MetroOnTheMove]

My advice is to go early and during the week if possible. Went the wednesday before Thanksgiving which prob why no one was there. Went over to Wildcat Mountain on the AT after this and caught some great views from the top of the mountain. That video comes out next week and can't wait to share! Thanks for the support my friend! Let's keep moving!

[@wanderingoutyonder]

Waterfalls are a win any time, any size, always. Very nice! Love the creekside trails!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Can't beat it! Backpacker mag just rated this place as one of the best in Georgia and I totally agree. To beat the crowds, make sure you go early and during the week if possible!. Thank you for the support!

[@OurNationalAdventure]

GREAT shots! Great to see the area this time of year. Such a great 👣trail!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Learning a few photo / filming tricks from my KZbin friends! Backpacker Magazine named Raven Cliff Falls as one of the best places to hike during the changing of the leaves. Was 1 week late but still got to enjoy this area in solitude! Can't wait to go back!

[@BonedaddyToo]

That is a pretty place to hike.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Can't beat it! One of the best in Georgia for sure! Thanks for the support my friend!

[@RVAHikerGirl]

Nothing better than a trail with waterfalls! They just keep coming and coming! That spot looks like an excellent place to camp! Man GA has some great hikes down there! Thanks for taking us along on this one Metro! ~RVA~

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Senior Hiker and Mike P love this place as well! However, during peak season and weekends, this place can be a zoo. Went the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and got super lucky to have this place to myself. This is actually just down the road from Hogpen Gap on the AT.

[@RVAHikerGirl]

@@MetroOnTheMove Oh I know how that is! This is the perfect time of the year to go to those kinds of spots. Less crowded is always good in my book! ~RVA~

[@Packsalot]

That looks like a great area to hike camp and explore. A couple of those falls were super tall. Awesome. Thanks for sharing this trail. Cool video Andy. Have a great day.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Thank you my friend for the positive feedback! Love this trail as it just down the road from the Appalachian Trail. After I got done with this hike, I went over to Wildcat Mountain and caught some epic views of this valley. Video comes out next week and hope you enjoy! Thanks for the support!

[@SlonesWildernessExpeditions]

Great hike, love that stream and all the waterfalls! That would be an excellent place to camp.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Make sure to go during the week and early! This place can get packed on weekends. Just down the road is the Appalachian Trail and I live to stop and do sections in this area over a weekend.

[@TylerCampbellOutdoors]

Looks like an amazing place to hike. Thanks for sharing

[@MetroOnTheMove]

One of the best in GA for sure! Hope you get a chance to explore this area. Let me know if you head this way!

Nice to have a place like that to yourself! Dug that slow-mo footage of the waterfalls 👍

Every now and then us hikers get lucky right? Thanks for the positive feedback and glad to hear you enjoyed this video. Stay tuned for much more to come in the following weeks! Cheers

[@CarlsonAdventures]

Looks like an awesome place. Could be great for a group get together next year!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Agreed! Last we spoke, you wanted to do a section of the AT and there is a great spot just down the road from here. Trying to put some thoughts around this hike and will share soon! Hope you are doing well my friend!!

[@dalechilders6231]

Great video!!! My Son and I hiked there a few weeks ago for the first time and we both loved it. In fact, it was my son's first hike. We liked the fact that the bridge was out and had to cross the creek on a fallen tree, exciting!!!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Definitely one of the coolest trails in North Georgia! Glad you guys had a chance to experience this area. Happy Holidays!

[@atypicalhiker]

This is THE place I first went to with a church group many years ago as a kid. My first group overnighter. It rained and a girl I loaned an extra tent to got her down sleeping bag wet. My friend Mike and I used our boy scout mess kits to pan for gold. Then we practiced denting each others mess kits by tossing them onto rocks in the creek. One of the chaperones lost the top to my canteen at the top of the cliffs. He had been smoking weed. I made many trips there with friends and family throughout my younger years as the place was so neat to me. It still holds a special place in my heart. I climbed up into the notch in the falls once and saw the largest salamander I have ever seen in my life. Very good memories.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

This was one of my first hiking trails as well. Going here for at least 25+ years now and everytime I go it brings me back. Would be cool to find some gold in dem der hills right? Great story about your experience. good times!

[@atypicalhiker]

@@MetroOnTheMove The first gold ever found in GA was in White county.

[@BackpackingWithJason]

Yes…. I’d love to see those areas. Freaking beautiful out there brother. Great campsite area too. What an awesome place Metro 👍🏻👍🏻

[@MetroOnTheMove]

I think I am going to organize a hike from Hogpen to Woody Gap in a few months. This could be an add on if you make it this way. Love to show you around my neck of the woods! Thanks for watching my friend!

[@SeniorHiker77]

I notice you took the extra effort to hike down to the falls. Most of the time I just record the falls from the trail, not that I'm to lazy but just don't want to wear myself out going back up to the trail. Lol. Raven Cliff Falls and Panther Creek Falls are two of my favorite hikes too.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

You know it my friend! Always willing to go the extra mile! Can't beat this day hike as you can check out surrounding trails in the area like wildcat on the AT. Next week, we will showcase a video on the rock outcrop from the top on the AT. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@NickandRachel]

Awesome video man! We really love that place. Looks like you had a great time

[@MetroOnTheMove]

One of the best hikes in Georgia as you guys know. Was nice to have this place to myself for once! Hope we get a chance to hike together again soon!

[@herewegowithbobsunner]

I really enjoyed it Metro! Is I plan on hiking raven cliff falls for next year's swimming hole videos. I hear it's a great place to go swimming.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Thank you my friend! Have not seen many people swimming in the stream but I guess you could wade in certain areas. Check out Helton Creek Falls as I have seen people swimming there. Also, Dicks Creek Falls is another popular spot as well.

[@herewegowithbobsunner]

@@MetroOnTheMove I did both of those last summer On my swimming hole Series

[@JimHayesHiking]

That hike would be right up my alley! I've been searching online for a hike in the northern part of the state, one that is the 5 mile range and not so far of a drive as I can get back in time to take a nap before I go to work. I work 359 nights per year and that's why I'm mostly a dayhiker these days. I only get 2 or 3 opportunities to backpack a year. I use to backpack alot in years past. I have hip issues now too since I'm an old man,Lol! Great video my friend!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

There is only one sketchy area at the beginning of the trail where you have to cross a down tree over a stream. Outside of this, this trail is an ideal day hike. Also, this is just down the street from Wildcat Mountain on the AT. Next week, I am going to release a video on hiking up to Wildcat in case you are interested. Hope you get a chance to explore this area! I recommend going early and during the week if possible.

[@JimHayesHiking]

@@MetroOnTheMove during the week I can do but early not so much,Lol. I just looked at the distance from me and it's 4.5 hours away. I would be doing good to get there by 11 a.m. at the earliest. Thanks Andy I appreciate it!

[@CupcakeandCornbread]

Clear you're having a great time and the views are amazing! We're working on our video quality too, so definitely need to watch more of your hikes and learn from you!

Great content! We’ll definitely have to check out Raven Cliff Falls! I just got the Ultrapress for my daughter for Christmas, we use the geopress and love it!

This is such a great spot! Keep an eye out for the sticker I am sending you in the mail!

[@SANDTOUTDOORS]

Such an awesome place. I’m glad to see that first campsite on trail was clean. Last time we were there we carried out two bags of trash and a queen size mattress. We usually camp at the campsites that are past the parking area and Basecamp out of there. I love that trail. It is rare that you have that place to yourself. Great video my friend. Keep up the good work you’ve been putting in some miles lately.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

It's horrible when people can't practice simple leave no trace principles! Thank you for taking the time and effort to clean up this trail. Agreed with the campsites past the trailhead as I specifically like the one just past the stream crossing. Got super lucky with the trail all to myself. Went early and on a Wednesday before Thanksgiving. That prob had a lot to do with it. Backpacker Mag just rated this place as one of the best in GA! Hope to hike one day with you my friend! With your truck, we can go anywhere!!

[@gregpatterson134]

Did a overnight there about a month ago and nice easy trail like you mention with great water features and camping spots.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Did you see any bears while you were there?

[@gregpatterson134]

@@MetroOnTheMove No, not even any signs of bear activity. We camped at the large very open area near the creek and it was actually very clean but you could tell a good bit of camping activity in the recent past. I live very close to many points of AT and other trails in the area, and this year I've not seen much bear activity. Also, during the summer, less rattlesnake sightings on the higher rocky areas like Preachers Rock, Cow Rock, and Trey. Go figure.

Have you ever hiked Jacks river falls trail up in the Cuhutta wilderness. That was one of my favorite trails when I used to live in Atlanta. Great summer trail because you are in the water so much. We had tons of bear encounters on that trail, pretty much every time we went, a couple pretty scary ones.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Yep! Many times and that trail is perfect for warmer weather with all of the river/water crossings! Always hang your food to help keep bears at bay! Glad you made it safely and hope you get a chance to explore this awesome trail!

Yep! As the day goes on, the trail takes on another feel as well. Who knows, maybe this trail is haunted. Wonder what the history of this area is.
