A hike only for hardcore waterfallers. From where you park you can see cars constantly driving up to Table Rock picnic area, but you are as far away from civilization as you can get in this area. I took the Mountains-to-Sea Trail east down to Steels Creek, then left the trail and followed Buck Creek upstream. This hike involves hours of creek walking, bouldering, and bushwhacking. It also poured before I got to the first waterfall making every rock scramble extremely hazardous. It took me 5+ hours to navigate less then 3 miles of Buck Creek. In order you'll see Orange Rock Falls, Buck Creek Falls, unnamed waterfall, Mossy Chute Falls, unnamed waterfall, and Mossy Ledge Falls. I highly suggest only doing this in a group and on a dry day.

At some points in the video there is high squealing, sorry about that. I think after the first downpour some water got into my microphone as it was a constant battle keeping my phone dry.

Hike distance was 8.3 miles in 7 hours
