High Tor Wildlife Management Area, about 2 miles
northeast of Naples.
Access
High Tor Game Management Area. Park on the first bend of
Parish Hill Road just south of route 245 as it heads northeast out of Naples.
Hiking
Easy to moderate difficulty. This walk can be as long or
short as you wish. We spent about 4 hours climbing the entire length of the gully. You can
climb this gully with good sneakers/or tevas. We wear small instep crampons in both winter
and summer..
Details
This gully is well known by the locals so you may encounter
other hikers along the way. There are several falls and pools with a large waterfall
at the top of the gully. The hillside next to the highest falls at the top is steep
and requires vigorous scrambling skills. You can exit the gully on the east side and
walk back on a side path or simply retrace your steps back to Parish Road.
