Another great descent off of the Blue Ridge Parkway down into Arcadia The beginning is tight and technical with multiple wood water bar drops and some rock gardens. You will eventually come out to a doubletrack section with a bit of climbing. There are some sharp dirt water bars here, so be sure to pull up when you hit them to avoid going over the bars. You'll follow and cross the creek multiple times before being down at the Kiosk and trailhead of Apple Orchard Falls.
