2020-11-27 Upper Whitewater River Adventure

 Upper Whitewater River Adventure
Jackson County, NC
Black Friday, November 27th, 2020

As tradition, I spent Black Friday out in the woods!
 
This year The Professor Scott Burns joined me on a return visit to the Upper Whitewater River area of Jackson County, NC.

We had both been here less than a week prior, but felt the desire to connect a few dots and fill in some blanks from our previous adventure!
 
We were able to find a route to Entrance Falls staying entirely on public property. I am 100% confident that the route we took was NOT the path of least resistance!

Rather than crossing the river and taking the trail down to Exit Falls, we decided to see if we could find a safe route staying on River Right.   No safe route was found!
 
We were able to find a route to get to Green Party Falls from above, but I would not recommend this route to anyone!

 I had a wonderful day exploring with Scott.  We saw no other humans during our day in the Mountains of North Carolina.
