~RVA Hiker Girl~
I absolutely love that tree with all the roots. What a cool little hike.
It was massive, that root system. It's in a flooding area from the Cape Fear River. So I think the water has eroded the soil away over the years. But it's still hanging on strong. ~RVA~
Love tree roots like that, and ALLLLL the fungi! 😍 So fun! And UGH at the heat. 😂 Glad you had somewhere comfy to cool off!
That tree is right by the river, so I think its roots look that way from years of the river rising and eroding the soil. It was pretty cool looking for sure. Thanks, Switchback for checking this one out. ~RVA~
Wonderful video. We are staying in a campers cabin in Raven Rock State Park this weekend and look forward to doing this hike. Thank you for sharing.
Have so much fun! Beautiful rocks down there on that hike!
Beautiful rock formations. Thanks for sharing ATB Grays
For central NC, they are pretty darn cool. Appreciate you stopping by the channel and watching this video. ~RVA~
Really nice hike. Rock cliffs are amazing to see. The views of the river and lower tree tops were awesome.
Just a short one in very hot summer temps. Glad I was still able to get out there early in the day to enjoy this one. Short and sweet with those cliffs. This is not in the mountains, which makes this one really cool. Thanks John! ~RVA~
Looks like an awesome park great scenery the wildlife sounds great too. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching and checking this one out. Very much appreciated. ~RVA~
Awww, my oldest daughter's neck of the woods. (She's an Army wife). Beautiful place and rock formations. And you are right. That area is mainly flat, but Raven Rock is a great exception! Gotta check out their "hike-in" campsites sometime. Another great video!
I wish I would have seen those hike in primitive sites while I was there. Those are my kinda of camping. Love those mini cabins there, the a/c is always kick'n! ~RVA~
Loved this RVA, a much needed dose of adventure and exploration in this hump day afternoon over the pond! Incredible gorges, cliffs and tree roots! Nature is the best 🤜🤛❤️....well 2nd best after you and your amzing videos 📹 👏 we are speechless too, so beautiful 😍
Love the name Raven Rock too 🪨 🐦
Alot of cool fungi about the place 🍄 and the ultimate views from the lookout, stunning! A solid 5 mile hike. Thanks for the video, have a great week, Ceri and Kat 🗺🧭☕️👍
A short but sweet hike in unbearably hot temps. Looking forward to cooler Fall weather, longer hikes and backpacking trips to come. Thanks to my UK duo for your amazing support! ~RVA~

Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a nice comment. ~RVA~
I grew up a mile from there …my step family owned the land before duke University Professor founded in the state took it… my dad played there as a child it was a cow pasture!
I love hearing this!
Beautiful trail with nice rock formations… Can’t blame you for not wanting to camp in that heat!
Nope, been there, done that. It's just not fun trying to sleep in a hot tent at night in the dog days of summer. In July in Aug I find cheap little cabins to stay in. And that AC was kick'n in there let me tell ya! LOL! ~RVA~
Thanks for sharing about this amazing State Park in NC! Hope you are doing well.
Hey my friend! Who knew these cliffs would be this big in the central part of the state? It felt like I was in the mountains exploring down by the Cape Fear River. Yes, doing well. Making lots of plans for the fall! Cooler weather means more outdoors time! Whoot Whoot! ~RVA~
New sub here! Soooo glad to find someone from my own state and close by also that I can watch. I’ve been binge watching most of the morning and I’ve learned so much. Thank you so much!!
Hey Hey Mrs Bonds!! So happy you found my channel. Thrilled to have you! I am so glad you are enjoying the videos and that you are getting some useful info from them. If you ever have any questions, just ask, always happy to help. ~RVA~
pretty neat hike! Loved the cliffs and the bluff line. Enjoyed!

Love the hiking trail and the rock formations. Great overlook too. Really cool area and video my friend 👍🏻👍🏻
Hey there! This one was a real surprise since its not in the mountains. Its in the flat part of the state. I'll be seeing you in Oct my friend! Excited to come hike in your home state and share in conversations with our deep southern draws! My accent tends to get a lil deeper when surrounded my fellow country folk. ~RVA~
@@RVAHikerGirl October should be a blast and I can’t wait to show you the gorge 😁
What a majestic rock formations my friend, great video.🔥🔥
Those cliffs were pretty darn cool! I had no idea they were that big, being in the center of the state and not in the mountains. Appreciate ya giving this one a watch. ~RVA~
tebing yg sangat tinggi namun indah pemandanganya 👍❤
I was shocked at how high the those cliffs were. Very unexpected. ~RVA~
Your commentaries are on point plus your cinematography has greatly improved. Enjoyed this one a lot. 😘
They don't call me the b roll queen for nothing. Ha Ha! This hike wasn't in the mountains at all, which makes this a rare find in the middle of the state. Super hot day, glad I was able to get out early before I melted out there! I'm ready for Fall! ~RVA~
@@RVAHikerGirl I think you're the new Dixie. Lol
There’s a cool little carving on the rocks by the tree with a bunch of roots. It says “Bill Hatch 1940”
I missed that for sure. Are you Bill Hatch?
It’s not on the raven rock itself but if I was Bill Hatch I would be a walking zombie. That’s for sure.
Outstanding hike
Thank you. Just a bit south of you. Fun area to explore! Thanks a bunch, Dave for watching. ~RVA~
Cool looking place!!
Thanks Issa! Def unexpected for the central part of the state. Looks like something you would find in the western part of the state in the mountains. A great little hidden gem. ~RVA~
Nice to have a trail from the campground... And some wildlife on the way! Super!
I love that rock! Really amazing!
All the best! Kaat
Yes that is nice to have that trail. They just built it over the last year. Wildlife is always an added bonus on any trail. But 1 of my fav parts being such a big animal lover. Those cliffs were unexpected in this area. Really a special place. ~RVA~
2nd 🥈❤️☕️👍
Looks amazing!!!
Thanks Hipp Hiker Gal!!! Love ya!
This looks like an awesome area! Cool to see - we were actually supposed to stop by this park on our trip back from SC earlier this year - but had to skip it because we were racing a snowstorm that was on the way! Bummer because this looks AWESOME! Hopefully next time -lovely video - looks like you had a blast! Keep making memories & adventure on! ~Karen & Shannon WOY
Definately worth a stop by this park to check this one out if you guys are in the area again. NC has so much to see. Wasn't expecting the cliffs to be that large in the central part of the state. You expect to see this size and scale in the mountains. HOT HOT day though. Is it Fall yet? ~RVA~
Incredible! Those rock cliffs and the sculptured tree roots were absolutely gorgeous! Love when nature paints such amazing artwork before our eyes. The trail covered with it's canopy of trees like a long gazebo was perfect too. Love it! 🤠🌲🍃💚
Those tree roots were pretty darn cool. The Cape Fear River runs right next to this area and I think the water has eroded the soil away for years now leaving them exposed. Thanks for checking this one out. ~RVA~
On the north side that huge barn which is a woodworking marvel my grandfather built just a few years before they took it
Oh wow, thanks for that info. Why did they take it down?
Great video, RVA!! I definitely have to check out Raven Rock State Park.
Hiya Terry! Yes, it's a little hidden gem in the middle of the state. Happy to spread the word about it. ~RVA~
Not as extreme as those cliffs but it almost reminds me of Belle Isle in Richmond. But those rock faces are pretty high
I can see that. But for sure these are much higher and naturally made verses the quarry on Belle Isle was man made. Love hiking down by the river in RVA. Close to home and great views of the city.
Hi girl that's a beautiful hike!! And the round trip mileage is really perfect too. Yes sounds like a very hot day out there. The rock walls remind me of Red River gorge and big south fork. Stunning ❣️
Ready for Fall! Can't wait for RRG and to meet up with everyone. Its gonna be a blast! ~RVA~
Great Video! You were just in my neck of the woods. I love hiking Raven Rock, it's such a unique and beautiful place; just love it!
Those stairs sure are a workout.😉
Let me know when you pass through here again.
New Sub! 🤗
Thanks so much for the sub and welcome to the channel! So happy to have you a part of my little CZcams family. This hike really shocked me. Those cliffs are so much bigger in person than they look in photos. ~RVA~
@@RVAHikerGirl You are so welcome! I'm glad I came across your channel. I've had some health issues and haven't hiked all summer and you inspire me to get out there again.
Yes, Raven Rock location and cliffs are incredible and certainly a jem in NC. There are many trails in that park. If you have the all trails app they are on there. Another area I recommend is the south mountains park south of Hickory nc, it's a small mountain range separate from the rest of the NC mountains. I have two videos on my channel showing hikes I did on there. The longer and more difficult trail has that impressive and beautiful waterfall. Enjoy!
Keep on exploring and see you on the trail one day!
🤗 XOXO -Dulce
That looked a great trail to follow, especially with the orange markers on the trees. Sure was plenty of steps to get down and the roots of the tree next to Raven Rock was real weird to see, it looked like it could come alive at at second. It really was a massive rock and it really put it into perspective when you did a distance walking shot passed it. Loved the viewpoint, so many trees for as far as the eye could see and nice someone had put a bench there too - I would have need that after all those steps! Just as well that hike was shaded mind as 96F is way too hot for me - yikes! Cheers Alan
I got out there early to try to beat the heat. But at this time of the year, you wake up to temps already in the 90's. The really great thing about this hike is it's not in the mountains. It sure looks like it from the size of the massive cliffs though. I real gem I found. Thanks, Alan for watching til the end! ~RVA~
Cool place ! no a/c back in the day
As much as i love the outdoors, I am very happy I live in an era that has ac.
Hey, I'm right with ya on a/c. your video just made me remember as a kid camping at douthat in the middle of the summer. smoking hot and not a problem
