Waterfall Hero: Tory's Falls (Hanging Rock)

Follow the trail from the east end of the Tory's Den parking area for less than a quarter mile to the 50-foot falls on a tributary of Vade Mecum Creek. The stream is very small, so visit after heavy rain. Tory's Den, a small cave, is just past the falls.
