Foothills Trail Boat/Hike

This was a key swap hike.  One person in group 1 drove someone's car from group 2 to Devil's Fork.  One person in group 2 drove someone's car in group 1 to the Laurel Fork Gap Trailhead.  I was in the group that started at Devil's Fork SP.  We got on the boat and drove around the lake and looked at Laurel Fork Falls.  Then the boat dropped us off to begin the hike.  We hiked along the foothills trail making a detour to Virginia Hawkins Falls.  I started my GPS a little late but most got around 5.2 for mileage.  I got 892 EG.  Along the way we passed the other group and exchanged keys back.  It was a great day and the trail was nice with a lot of bridges for the water crossings.  We did see some hunters along the way so may want to wear orange to stand out.
