This hike was rated as moderate and it was, at least for this hiker. We met at one of the usual spots and then carpooled to the Pocket Wilderness and the hike to Laurel falls. There, 17 of us gathered for this hike. It was a bit cool with a cold wind blowing. We hiked along Richmond Creek and passed where Morgan Creek intersects. Then we hiked steeply for a short distance to entersect another trail that would lead us past some cascading lower falls, past the turn off for Snow Falls and, climbing some more continued toward Laurel Falls. Along the way, we had to scramble through a small cave before continuing upwards to Laurel Falls. The falls were really roaring and provided and excellent view. The overall distance of this hike was 5.45 miles
