The Ridge Hiking Association
We are a community organization of like minded travelers, hikers, and nature lovers on The Paradise Ridge. We meet at cool places to hike, snowshoe, paddle, and race around the greater Paradise Ridge area. Above all, we are a low key, fun group of health enthusiasts that enjoy sharing hikes and nature experiences with our community - come hang out and hike with us!
Hikes are scheduled for every second Saturday of the month throughout the year, as listed in the events portion of this page.

The trail leads you to the sixth-tallest year-round waterfall in the USA.
This version takes the upper trail to the falls and back to the trailhead via the upper trail. Though longer than an alternative route to the falls, this is the easiest way to the waterfall. During the springtime, this is often the only trail to the waterfall because of flooding on the lower trail.
