The Pisgah Conservancy, in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service, the National Park Service, and the Blue Ridge Parkway, celebrated the completion of the new Upper Falls Connector Trail at Graveyard Fields with a ribbon cutting on Oct. 6.
The 1-mile trail is a major step forward in the larger Graveyard Fields Restoration Project, connecting the John Rock Overlook parking area on the Blue Ridge Parkway to the Graveyard Fields valley floor. The new connection provides critical access for future restoration work, including trail reconstruction, stream and habitat restoration, storm recovery, and ongoing maintenance.
