Scenic Hazel River. Had to cross it 5 times.

View south of Hazel Mt as we climb about 650 feet in a quarter mile.

View north toward Buck Ridge from the White Rocks Trail. Might get over there this year.

The group explores a cave near the waterfall.

The focal point of the hike. 0.2 miles straight down to the river and then back up to the ridge was worth the extra effort.
