Thanks for stopping by the blog! We’ve done the return trip via both the fire road and the regular trail. I actually thought the fire road return was much steeper and more grueling. Although that may have been partly psychological. Fire roads are never as fun/interesting as “real” trail, so sometimes I think they make the uphill hiking feel more monotonous.

South River Falls return trip is a lot easier going up the fire road and catching the AT across the slope. Don’t know if you have ever gone that way, but it is a great route.
