Thanks for visiting, Vicky! I hope when you go, there will be some water running in the streams and waterfalls. We’ve had such a dry summer. If you managed Old Rag, I think the 5.4 mile option on White Oak will be a piece of cake for you.

I enjoyed reading your hiking experience at Whiteoak Canyon Falls. My husband and I are planning to take this hike soon. This will be our second hiking experience, the first was hiking Old Rag. I do believe that we will take your advice and only hike the 5.4 miles. As new hikers, I do think the complete 8.2 miles would be too much. Loved your pictures and reading about your hike.

Thanks for the visit, Alec! That does sound like an epic day of hiking. You covered everything from waterfalls to panoramic views.

Fantastic reports, awesome pics! Did this hike up then onto Hawksbill … for an epic day. Love the way you were able to capture the movement of the water and, of course, the bear cubs!!

Surprisingly, the water was very pleasantly cool! If it hadn’t been so slippery, I may have waded around even more.

I had to check out that waterfall! That is pretty high! I bet that water is cold!
