Falls Ridge Preserve

This event is at capacity, but please join the waitlist and we'll contact you if space becomes available.

Join for a leisurely hike around a travertine waterfall nestled in rugged terrain that rises from the valley of the North Fork of the Roanoke River at Falls Ridge Nature Preserve. We will explore the history, geology, plants, and animals of the area. Meet at the preserve parking lot as Falls Ridge is closed to the public and the parking lot is gated. It is important you arrive on time as we will be unlocking the gate for you to park in the gravel lot. The gate will be locked behind the last car, so please plan to stay for the duration of the hike.-Location: <a href="https://www.nature.org/en-us/get-involved/how-to-help/places-we-protect/falls-ridge-preserve/" title="https://www.nature.org/en-us/get-involved/how-to-help/places-we-protect/falls-ridge-preserve/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Falls Ridge Nature Preserve</a>: Falls Ridge Road Elliston, VA 24087-Maximum Number: 15 (registration required)-Trail Difficulty: easy to moderate-Free and open to the public!-No bathroom facilities.
